Mishimaya
A long-beloved eel restaurant in Tenri, always with a queue and often selling out. Featured as a hometown tax (furusato nozei) return gift, symbolizing local pride. 9 min walk from Tenri Station west exit.
Yahoo Maps 4.28/180 reviews, Tabelog 3.48/406 reviews. Local voices say 'when it comes to eel in Tenri, it's this place' and 'you have to go before they sell out.' Selection as furusato nozei gift proves community trust.
