It is a very small shop that sells grilled eels and it was quite cold that day in Tokyo and having a freshly grilled and hot eels was one of the best thing that I have enjoyed. The shop has been around since Showa 49 years, that is 1974 and currently being run by the second generation.

Since I was bringing an infant with me, I asked if a stroller was possible and made a reservation in advance.
I was a little nervous since it was an eel restaurant, but everyone at the restaurant, including the owner, was very kind.
We had a seat prepared for us with a stroller, so we were able to eat without any problems.
I had the Umeda bowl, and it was refreshing, and the eel was crispy on one side and fluffy on the other, and I really liked the taste and doneness.
The staff and the eel bowl are amazing! ! !
thank you very much.
I would like to visit you again.

At my mother's request, "I saw eel on TV and it looked delicious, so I wanted to eat it," so we went to Ningyocho Umeda.
More than 10 years ago, I ate ``Unagidon with plums on top of the rice under the eel'' at this restaurant and was very impressed. Every time I pass by the store and look at the price, the price has gone up year by year, and I never go back until today.
However, when I went there for the first time in a while and ate it, it was even more delicious than I remembered.
Ehime's farmed eel, which is steamed until plump and aromatically grilled over binchotan charcoal, is flavored with dashi soy sauce instead of the kabayaki sauce. The combination of fragrant soy sauce-flavored eel, shredded nori, pounded umeboshi and green onions, and delicious rice was enough to make a bowlful of eel and rice go by in no time.
In fact, even my mother, who has never been a fan of eel, enjoyed eating it and said, ``It's delicious. It's full of energy!''
The liver soup, pickles, and dessert of boiled red beans were all delicious. I made a reservation for 13:00 and went there, and it was nice to be able to eat quietly as it was private. My mom and I went out to eat at a lot of places, but this was our favorite restaurant for both of us. The only disappointing thing is that photography is not allowed inside the store. But I want to go eat there again.
