What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedOver 60 years of eel specialization. Grilled without steaming (Kansai-style) over charcoal, yielding firm flesh with resilient skin. The secret sauce is on the lighter side. One of two legendary local eel shops with 1-2 hour weekend waits. Takeout available.
Diners rave about the plump, chewy thick flesh and refreshing after-taste of the light sauce. Locals call it 'the real deal.' The story of the owner rescuing the secret sauce from the flood before rebuilding became a social media sensation.
