There is a popular Italian restaurant called "Pasta Carta Paco" in Nishiyama, Chuo-ku, which operates a food ingredient supermarket called "Super Finocchio". Although there was no sign for a fish store, it is registered as "Mase Sengyo-ten", so I will review it. The store has a unique product lineup, especially in the prepared food section where you can find excellent Italian dishes. I visited the store by bike from the east side and explored the aisles. They have a wide range of daily necessities, but the eye-catching section is the prepared food corner with delicious Italian dishes, although a bit pricey. I planned to wander around the city by bike after this, so I couldn't buy more items, but I will visit again. In the fish section, along with fresh fish, there are various dried fish and processed products. I chose "Eel Skewer @680" which can be carried around without losing freshness in the hot summer. The eel, which is thick and looks good, came with plenty of sauce. It is recommended to sprinkle some sake before heating it in the microwave to remove any smell. I enjoyed it over freshly cooked rice with the sauce poured on top. I had been eating Chinese eel at home recently, so the Japanese eel was a comforting and delicious change. The sauce was not too sweet or too spicy, just right. Japanese eel is usually priced double that of Chinese eel, making it a bit hard to purchase a whole one, but selling it in halves would be more accessible. I wish there were more stores that sold eel like this. There were only two items on display, so I am not sure if they are always available, but I would definitely go back to buy them again. I also want to try the delicious pickled mackerel mentioned in another review next time. It was a very delicious meal. Thank you.

When you visit Super Finoccio, be sure to stop by the in-store seafood shop. The freshness is top-notch, and the fried side dishes are incredibly delicious. This time, I bought their homemade marinated mackerel (which is my favorite). Also, they have horse mackerel, snapper, and snow crab legs. The conversation is enjoyable, and the sashimi is delicious! Most importantly, they treat their ingredients with care - they place daikon radish underneath the sashimi to enhance the flavor. This shop is truly outstanding!
