Both the rice and the sauce were good.

It was nice to be able to eat quietly.

BGM JAZZ is good

★★★ According to the owner
Unagi-don (eel bowl) is about half an eel, 1,700 yen
The regular one is a large eel, 2,310 yen
But still
The eel-jyu is two eels for 2,750 yen
Therefore, we decided to have the eel-jyu.

The rice and sauce were good.

I ordered Unajyu (2750 yen). The sauce is light and the eel meat is fluffy and fatty. I think this eel is delicious. The whole rice is coated with sauce, so it's delicious even if you just eat the rice. Perhaps due to the location, there aren't many customers during lunch time, which is a blessing. It comes out immediately after ordering.

Take out is available.

A long-established store that exudes a family-run atmosphere, in a good way.

The shop is normally closed on Sundays, but it seems to be open on Sundays when the Ox Day falls on a Sunday.

During the preparation time, the ventilation fan facing the road always emits smoke with a strong aroma of charcoal and kabayaki, which is very tempting.

As someone who is used to quite sweet sauces, the sauce was mildly sweet. The eel was delicious.
