Reviews
The reception after entering the restaurant was extremely warm and friendly. The specialty, eel rice, had a sweet sauce that penetrated the eel, which was grilled to a slightly firm texture but not served at a hot temperature. Sometimes the fine bones were not an issue, but at other times, they were quite bothersome. In terms of the eel itself, it could be described as the common kabayaki style, but I still prefer the high-temperature charcoal-grilled style, where the meat is tender enough to easily fall apart with chopsticks, and the fine bones are often softened as well.
Purchasing an exquisite set menu also allows for a few more dishes.

♬ Meal Reviews
This time I ordered three sets of exquisite set meals. As for the staple food, two chose eel rice and one chose barbecue lamb chops. The difference in eel parts is that the eels used in the exquisite set are in the middle, while the parts used in the healthy set are closer to the tail. The entire set meal includes appetizer salad, sashimi, chawanmushi (egg roll), pickles (cucumber), soup, dessert and main meal.
The clerk emphasized that the parts of their eel are of the highest quality and tastes grilled just right. The aroma of kabayaki sauce is perfectly combined with the oil of the eel. When paired with white rice, the tender eel melts in your mouth.
The eel head soup tastes very filling. It is quite strong, but people who like the taste of fish may not like it. You can order another dish of loofah-flavored monk soup, which is more suitable. Finally, there is a frozen plum to finish the meal. , the portion is moderate, just enough to make you feel full but not too much.
It’s worth a try for those who like eel rice! Great value for money!
