What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established eel restaurant founded in 1970 (Showa 45) in Honjo-cho, Saga City. The only Saga City restaurant in the Saga Prefecture eel Google Review Top 10, earning 4.2 stars and 555 reviews. Using the Jiyaki (direct grilling) technique unique to western Japan's eel cuisine, the fluffy, tender eel is praised for 'an aroma that fills the air the moment you put in chopsticks.' Saga Hitsumabushi and seiro-mushi are the signature dishes. Three directly managed branches in Saga City (Honjo, Hokubu, Tobu). Credit cards accepted.

'Saga's best eel restaurant. The seiro-mushi is outstanding.' 'The aroma of direct grilling is exceptional—the fluffy flesh melts in your mouth.' 'All private rooms, perfect for families. We come every year for our child's birthday.' 'Lunch has no reservations, so we line up before opening.'
