Eel at Inari

This is a photo of the place where two of us ate lunch near the Inari (Thousand Torii) Shrine; we had eel, grilled in the open air right in front of the restaurant, combining the Japanese love for eating freshly cooked seafood and the necessity of squeezing a big task into a small space. The grill took up just a small space and it was easy to chat with the person cooking. It's at a shop near the shrine where I purchased the fox (inari) mask that hangs in my office.
