The restaurant offered different grades of eel rice, and the staff recommended the 8800 yen option. However, I felt that it was too expensive, so I decided to try the 4400 yen option instead. When the eel rice arrived, it was beautifully presented in a lovely box. The aroma of the grilled eel filled the air, giving it a delightful smoky fragrance. Although it wasn't the most tender eel I've ever had, it was incredibly flavorful and rich in fish oils. It was certainly one of the best eel rice dishes I've tasted.
Additionally, I must mention the rice used in the dish, which was of exceptional quality. It was glossy and translucent, indicating its superior grade and freshness. The combination of the perfectly cooked rice and the flavorful eel created a harmonious and satisfying dining experience.

The Unagi is fresh and delicious.
However the price is slightly higher so minus 1 star, but overall worth to give a try!

A little pricey, around ¥4000 for one eel piece without any set, but hard to find better deal in Japan, especially in such touristic cities.
Service was excellent, kind and friendly. The restaurant is well designed and the atmosphere is great.
They had space for 8 without issues.
