Sumiyaki Unagi Kamo
A famed unagi restaurant on the north shore of Lake Hamana in Mikkabi. The Kansai-style 'jiyaki' method—direct charcoal grilling without steaming—produces crispy, fragrant skin and juicy flesh. Tabelog Unagi Top 100 in 2018 and 2024. TripAdvisor #5 in Hamamatsu (4.5/5). So popular that numbered tickets are distributed from 9 AM. A 3-min walk from Tenryu Hamanako Railway Higashitsuzuki Station. Takeout available.
Tabelog 3.73 / 834 reviews (Top 100 in 2018 and 2024). TripAdvisor 4.5 / 72 reviews, #5 in Hamamatsu. Yahoo Maps 4.39. The strongest proof: lines start at 9 AM with numbered tickets. High praise for 'jiyaki—crispy outside, juicy inside.' No fake-review or inbound-tourism-trap signs. No reservations accepted—a hallmark of a genuine establishment.
