    The line was quite long and it took more than an hour of waiting to get in. The food and service was excellent although we have had better unagi in other places. The tea that is suggested to be eaten...

    Shizuoka Pref. Hamamatsushi Chuo-ku Chitosechou 70
    "This unagi(eel) shop is located in Chitose Town, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City. They provide onlydomestic eel, particularly from Lake Hamanaka, and grill it up with charcoal and a secret sauce. In addition to the standard unajyu"" and ""unadon"", you can enjoy dishes like the ""kasanejyu"" with its separate piles of rice and eel, and the ""shiradon"", a plain-grilled unadon so you can enjoy the original flavor of eel. The lunch boxes you can warm up with heating function are popular, too."

    人気の鰻屋さんということで11:00頃にお店に到着して12:00前後に入店することを目論みました。しかしながらお店の入口には「お昼の営業分は売り切れました」とのこと。お店の人に聞くとどうやら10:30に入口で予約を取り始め既に売り切れたので、夕方分しか無いとのことです。 10:30に並び始める必要があるようです。。。

    This eel shop is located along Iida Kaido Road, in Iida-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City. They provide eel through the Kansai-style grilled eel method which means grilling over binchotan charcoal-not steaming-and using high-quality domestic eels chosen as fits the season. In addition to unajyu and una don, there are other menu items like the naga-yaki gohan with rice, liver soup, pickles, and a whole eel loaded on a dish.

    祭日の正午に訪問。既に待客多数の状況で、期待も高まります。 気候良く秋晴れでポカポカ陽気の中、のんびり待つこと約30分で入店。入店後も待つこと約15分、待望の鰻重が配膳されました。 鰻重は熱々、蒲焼の表面はパリッと香ばしく、身はフワッと柔らかく、やや濃いめに感じるタレと相まり、良いバランスです。お好みで山椒をかけながら、とても美味しく、夢中になって食べてしまいました。 タレのかかり具合が少し多く...

    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Nakamura-ku Tsubakichou 6-9 Esca underground shopping area
    This eel specialty restaurant, famous for their version of the Nagoya specialty hitsumabushi (eel rice bowl), is located in the Esca Underground Shopping Center beneath Nagoya Station. Their hitsumabushi uses carefully selected eels which are covered with their secret sauce that uses a rich tamari-soy sauce base and cooked over ubame oak charcoal to create a luxuriant sweet-smelling dish. The taste of the crisp grilled skin is unbelievable. Their kimoyaki (grilled eel liver) and shirayaki (unseasoned grilled eel) are also popular menu items. Being located right next to the bullet train ticket gates this is the perfect place to round off a business trip or vacation.

    I was looking for take out and decided to go for hitsumabushi once again. So I went to ESCA and stumbled upon this restaurant. First impression was that this must be good since there is a long queue...

    Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture Yuigahama 3-3-27
    Established in 1929, this is a well-established eel restaurant in Kamakura whose closest station is Enoshimsa Dentetsu’s Wadazuka Station. Thanks to the secret sauce that has not changed over several decades, the plump eel is characteristic for its elegant taste with a subtle sweetness. All of their eel dishes are prepared only after the order is received, so cooking takes about one hour to prepare. It is recommended to visit after making a reservation. Children that are not yet of school age are not allowed.

    As a frequent Japan visitor, I really Don’t recommend this place. The modern generation of Japanese are open-minded and this restaurant sadly live in the atone age honor when Kawabata Yasunari has...

    Miyazaki is actually famous for Chicken Nanban so when a local told me that Irifune offers very delicious eel dishes, I was a bit skeptical. However, I wasnt disappointed after my visit. The eel...
