What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

An eel specialty restaurant in a renovated 140-year-old folk house on Kaminoura Street. Only uses fresh live eels carefully selected from across Japan, purified in spring water from Mt. Aso to remove odor, and prepared one by one by skilled craftsmen. Offers unaju, kabayaki, rare skewered parts, and winter-only hot pot. Takeout available. Exceptional local popularity with a 4.4 rating and 192 reviews on Hot Pepper.

Reviews praise it as 'Kumamoto's best unagi experience where the folk house atmosphere and craftsman's work are inseparable,' 'the depth of flavor from carefully prepared domestic eel is different,' 'a hidden gem I discovered while exploring Kaminoura,' and 'even the takeout unaju has stunning quality at home.' Hot Pepper rating 4.4 with 192 reviews.
