I think it's amazing in this day and age that you can enjoy this kind of taste, volume, atmosphere, and service at this price.
I'm not sure whether to give it 5 stars, come again and decide!

I visited for lunch.
Because it's for local use
I just want to eat eel!
But when it comes to budget, there is a reassuring presence: Mr. Tenoji.
I took a look at the eel,
It's a shop where you can enjoy delicious Japanese tea instead of cold drinks.After a while, a heavy bag was brought to us.
Although it is thin, it has a thick texture that allows you to make it as thick as you like!
I sprinkled it with Japanese pepper.
There are no complaints about the taste.
It also comes with liver sucking,
With a soft texture,
It was delicious. Unaju 2,900 yen
An ally of the common people!
