Founded in 1973, this long-established eel and river fish restaurant sits along the Seta River. Their specialty is charcoal-grilled eel with crispy skin and tender flesh. Selected for Tabelog Eel 100 Selection in 2022 and 2024. Tabelog 3.66/509 reviews, saved 20,965 (high-ranked overall in Otsu City). A celebrated eel restaurant that makes people say they will travel to Shiga just for this. Also serves carp dishes including carp sashimi and carp miso soup, embodying Otsu river fish culture. Closed Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Reviews say the contrast of crispy skin and tender flesh is the best, genuine eel carefully grilled over binchotan charcoal, this quality for around 3,000 yen is extraordinary value, and to try the carp dishes too for a true Otsu experience. Tabelog 3.66/509 reviews, saved 20,965. No PR or fake review signals.
