The rice portion is standard, but you can add as much as you want yourself from the rice cooker. Add wasabi first and savor the eel rice bowl's original flavor. ![A bite of eel rice bowl topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner-19-170kz-966.webp) ![Plump pieces of eel over rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner-20-fpa80-966.webp) ![Hitsumabushi topped with yakumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner-21-slbwk-966.webp) Then I tried adding the yakumi, sprinkling on furikake, and pouring it over ochazuke. ![Eel rice bowl poured over ochazuke](https://img.superchart.com/images/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner-22-1vjts-966.webp) ![A bowl of ochazuke topped with furikake](https://img.superchart.com/images/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner/chisot-yeoksam-hitsumabushi-teuksang-dinner-23-4d6br-966.webp) The nutty flavor just bursts in your mouth, making this solo-dining Japanese spot near Yeoksam Station even more delicious.
