Definitely delicious!

When I visited for the first time, I asked them to cut the eel in the eel bowl to make it easier for young children to eat, and they told me that the eel is steamed and then grilled, so it's soft and you can eat it as is, and when you cut it, it falls apart. I was convinced that it was true, and the eel was really soft and delicious even for young children, who ate it all up.The eel bowl set meal was also delicious!

Don't worry
A popular eel restaurant
However, there are tatami seats available,
The store has a clean feel, so it is loved by older people.

The customer service staff's skill and friendliness will make you feel at ease.

Grilled in Kanto and Edo style
Good fluffy taste.
The perfectly cooked rice brings out the eel.

Whether it's a date for two or a tatami room with your family,
A shop where you can smile naturally.

It's hard to find on the second floor of the building, but there are several free parking lots nearby.
Simple and sturdy rather than fancy shops.
We understand how to serve our customers.

Of course, considering the price and taste
It's not expensive.
I would like to continue to do my best for the local people and customers from far away.

This is a great store that I am grateful to have met.
