Unagi Kamogawa
A beloved local eel restaurant with over 50 years of history. Uses the Mikawa style of grilling without steaming, resulting in crispy skin and fluffy flesh. Longtime favorite in Kamoda-honmachi, Okazaki. Weekend visits must be in the morning as they sell out and close early. Grilled eel liver is also highly praised. Takeout eel bento available. Tabelog 3.79 (ranked 1st for eel in Okazaki), Yahoo Maps 4.19.
Many repeat customers say they cannot eat eel anywhere else. Multiple reviews mention selling out within 30 minutes of opening. Specific comments include the incomparable fragrance of direct-grilled eel and the best grilled liver ever tasted. 205 Tabelog reviews (3.79), Yahoo Maps 4.19, TripAdvisor 4.4. Many also praise the warm family service.
