The anago typically closes the nigiri course. It's grilled over charcoal until the skin crisps, then brushed with a perfectly balanced sweet glaze prepared daily. Reviewers consistently note how the warmth and glaze provide a satisfying finish.

Eat this quickly while the rice is warm. The contrast is what makes it special.
