What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established eel restaurant founded in 1981 in central Kuwana. Inherits a secret sauce from the venerable Uojo restaurant, passed down over 50-plus years. Uses brand eel 'Kiso Sansen Unagi' from the Kiso Three Rivers, charcoal-grilled to perfection. Renovated and reopened March 2024. Sells out early; come early. Kuwana's most respected eel shop.

Regulars hail it as 'Kuwana's finest eel restaurant.' The 50-plus-year passed-down secret sauce and aroma of charcoal grilling are simply exceptional. Weekends evenings by reservation. Tabelog 3.44, 162 reviews.
