What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A legendary eel restaurant that has operated for 6 generations since the Edo period. Lines form before opening daily, and it often sells out on weekends. No reservations, cash only. Each eel is prepared to order, producing a perfectly soft and fragrant kabayaki that defines Matsumoto dining.

Regulars say 'worth queuing an hour before opening', 'softness beyond any other eel I've had', 'I've been coming for decades'. Selected for Tabelog Top 100 Eel Restaurants 2024, Bronze Award 2026. Tabelog 3.98 (546 reviews).
