Local consensus: 'If you want real eel in Kariya, this is the only choice.' Menu limited exclusively to eel — a mark of a true specialist.
うなぎのみのメニューで本格派。
Closes at 19:30, closed Sundays — a craftsman's pace.
19:30閉店・日曜定休という職人のスタイル。
Sakura risk negligible (small long-established shop, no incentive for fake reviews).
サクラ疑惑なし（小規模老舗でサクラを使う動機がない）。
Price ¥3,000–¥4,999 is fair for a historic Aichi eel specialist.
価格3,000〜4,999円は高くなく、愛知の老舗うなぎとして適正。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1928, this eel-specialty restaurant has stood in Kariya for nearly 100 years. Located 5 minutes on foot from Meitetsu Kariya-shi Station, the old folk-house exterior is well-maintained and transports you back in time. Praised for a not-overly-sweet tare, crispy fragrant skin, and fluffy, juicy eel meat. Sources eel locally from Ichinomiya, Aichi, and serves exclusively eel dishes. Reservations strongly recommended as lunch fills up fast.

Regulars say: 'Crispy outside, fluffy inside, the light tare never gets old', 'A real 100-year eel shop in Kariya', 'Some days you can't get in without a reservation', 'The atmosphere creates a wonderful escape from the everyday.' Yahoo! Maps 3.9/35 reviews; 155 Tabelog reviews.
