What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A popular eel restaurant tucked in a residential area in Rokujokita, Gifu City. The lunch hitsumabushi piles eel so generously it overflows the bowl—all for just 2,000 yen. The charcoal-grilled aroma and sweet-savory sauce are exceptional. Since tickets open at 10:30 and close when sold out, regulars line up in their cars before opening. Google Maps 4.4 stars / 589 reviews (March 2024). Ranked #2 'Most Popular Eel in Gifu City' (Netlab Google Review Ranking, March 2024), and #1 in all of Gifu Prefecture (July 2023). Cash only, no reservations, closed Thursdays.

"Every time I'm amazed by how much eel overflows the bowl," "This quality at this price is top-class in Gifu," "Worth lining up before opening." Tabelog saves: 9,111 (outstanding for eel restaurants in Gifu). Yahoo! Maps 4.17 / 50 reviews. Google Maps 4.4 / 589 reviews (March 2024, Netlab).
