Fake reviews removed

Ranked No. 1 in Fukushima Prefecture for eel on the Neta-Labo Google Review ranking (4.4/247 reviews). A long-established eel specialty restaurant representing Iwaki. Kanto-style eel grilled slowly over binchotan charcoal, with a signature sauce that creates an irresistible harmony. Nearly all seats are booked at opening time even on weekdays. About 8 minutes walk from Iwaki Station.

Reviewers say the fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth eel cannot be found anywhere else. Seats fill immediately at opening—this is a true institution. Called the only choice for eel in Fukushima.
