The eel rice may look like a small portion, but it is quite filling, and the soy sauce is minimal, giving it a slightly dry texture. The pickled vegetables on the side are appetizing, and the soup is light and refreshing.
The traditional Japanese atmosphere is present, offering a good ambiance that matches the price, but the seats near the entrance are a bit warm.
The staff is very kind and makes an effort to understand even when we don't speak the same language.
"This price is what I ordered, because I don't know what others ordered 😂" by the person who almost couldn't eat eel rice after arriving in Kawagoe.

I ordered the premium set, and it really is not cheap—4,400 yen, which, based on the current exchange rate, is over 800, almost 900 Taiwan dollars. The portion of eel rice may not look like much, but you will feel quite full after eating it all. The sauce on the eel itself is minimal and mostly absorbed by the eel, so compared to the eel rice typically found in Taiwan, it tends to be a bit dry. Additionally, probably due to the cooking method, the bottom of their eel is slightly burnt, so you might need to drink water to avoid irritation in your throat.
The pickled vegetables served as a side are really appetizing, and the soup may be to help alleviate greasiness; it doesn't have a strong flavor and is quite mild (?)

The owner is very nice. As soon as I entered the shop, she warmly greeted the customers, and even though we couldn't communicate well, she patiently tried to understand what we were saying (I'm sorry, my Japanese is really bad, but I made an effort to communicate 🙈).

As soon as you step inside the store, you can feel the rich traditional Japanese ambiance. Maybe because of the higher price point, they create a good atmosphere. Unfortunately, we were seated near the entrance, so it was actually quite warm during the meal 😂

A popular restaurant for unagi rice. You can enjoy it inside the restaurant, and takeout is also available. The takeout menu items are smaller in size so you can try a variety of dishes. The cost performance is not the best, but it's a classic for food walking. The unagi rolled omelet is packed with eel and has a high satisfaction level. You'll want to eat more! 🐥
