What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Selected for Michelin Guide Wakayama 2022 Bib Gourmand. An eel specialist using rare 'blue eel,' grilled Kansai-style over binchotan charcoal without steaming — crispy outside, fluffy inside. Google 4.4 / 162 reviews show overwhelming support from local eel aficionados. A genuine eel kappo restaurant in the Kita-no-Shinchi nightlife area, pairing beautifully with local sake. The ¥4,700 unaju is fair pricing for a Wakayama eel specialist.

Reviews say 'this is the definitive eel restaurant in Wakayama,' 'the direct-grilled blue eel is exceptional,' 'the Michelin Bib Gourmand is well-deserved,' '¥4,700 is actually reasonable for a proper eel specialist,' 'pairs perfectly with local sake,' 'the amuse-bouche is excellent.' Google 4.4 / 162 reviews, Michelin Bib Gourmand 2022.
