A place that my friend found, there are no other shops nearby, and there are a few parking spaces in front. It’s quite spacious around, and I didn’t notice this place at first.

▪️Longan wood charcoal grilled unagi donburi small $420
▪️Longan wood charcoal grilled white grilled unagi donburi small $410
The difference between the large and small portions is that one is a whole eel and the other is half. The grilled one comes with sauce, while the white grilled one is basically just salty. The fish itself is quite tasty, but it’s not very big, and you won’t find noticeable fish bones (they're all soft and fine), which is a good thing. I really like the texture of the rice, but I think the sauce… could be more aromatic, which is a bit of a pity. The side dishes are all refreshing, making the whole meal quite light.

▪️Charcoal grilled sweetfish with roe $190
Quite tasty, the roe is really big, but mostly it's just eggs, so there’s not much meat. The skin is grilled very crispy and is a bit hard to pick up. I’m not too sure about this price…

Overall, it’s quite standard, the flavors are a bit light. I don’t eat eel often, so I’m not sure about the price; my friend thinks it's a bit expensive. The skewers seemed good too, but we didn't order them.
