A friendly greeting from the proprietress at the same time as entering the store.
Expectations are high for the Showa-chic atmosphere inside the store.
I asked
・grilled liver
・Fish grilled
・Kasaneju
Grilled fins have a very soft taste. After that, the table top sauce was good.
Waiting for the eel while drinking beer while snacking.
The eel, which is the key, was plump and delicious, and it seems to be slightly thick, but it is well-baked, and the eel that can be cut with chopsticks, and the sauce is slightly sweet, and the rice goes well.
While adding the sauce, I instinctively grabbed the bowl and shoveled in the rice.
I was very satisfied, but the amount of Kasaneju I ordered was large, so next time it would be better to simply enjoy a lot of eel at a special price.
Next time, I would like to drink sake with Kabayaki and Shirayaki.
Revisit Ali.

It was delicious. I like piping hot eel, so I was a little disappointed.
The eel was 4200 yen.
I'll stop by again.
