What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1934, this venerable restaurant stands along the Shima River. The owner trained at the prestigious Tokyo restaurant Kitcho. Their specialty is Yumushi Unaju, eel steamed with Shima hot spring water—a dish unique to this restaurant. The late actor Kodama Kiyoshi was among its fans. Eel, yamame, and iwana swim live until just before cooking.

Tabelog 3.43 (120 reviews), Retty 13 reviews with 93% recommendation rate. 'The yumushi unagi is exquisite,' 'the river fish dishes are at the highest level thanks to Kitcho training.' A 2025 blog post praised the 'plump, tender eel that moves you.' No closure information found.
