WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK

A long-established unagi specialty restaurant in Nagoya's Nakamura district with over 85 years of history since its founding in 1939.

The tare sauce, continuously replenished since opening and made from rich tamari soy sauce, brings out the full depth of flavor in the Kansai-style grilled eel, whose distinctive tender bite is unlike anything else in Nagoya.
創業以来継ぎ足し続けるたまりしょうゆのタレが、関西焼きならではのムニムニとした食感の鰻と見事に調和し、甘すぎない旨味が口いっぱいに広がる。
