Unafuji
One of Mie's most celebrated eel restaurants, with queues forming before opening. Tabelog Unagi Top 100 (2018, 2019, 2024). Prepared Kansai-style (grilled directly without steaming)—crispy skin, fluffy flesh. Premium eel rice bowl at just ¥2,200 (tax included) is exceptional value. Google rating 4.19. The grilled liver sells out fast. 54 seats, lunch only.
Tabelog 3.66, 834 reviews, Google 4.19. Three-time Unagi Top 100 selection. Countless reviews saying '¥2,200 for this eel quality is unbelievable' and 'best value ever.' Must arrive at opening if you want the grilled liver. Come prepared to wait in line.
