What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1894, this legendary eel restaurant is ranked #1 in Miyazaki on Google reviews (4.3 stars, 1,395 reviews). The domestic eel is grilled over binchotan charcoal until crispy outside and fluffy inside. About 250,000 visitors per year; expect queues from opening.

Praised as 'Miyazaki's most famous eel restaurant' and 'worth the wait.' Binchotan-grilled eel is exceptional; many repeat visitors from afar. TripAdvisor 4.4 stars, ranked #1 in Saito.
