You can also make a large serving of rice.
It seems that the number of eels is fixed, and the restaurant closes when it is finished.

I was the second one after a group of 6 customers, and the eel here costs 3500 yen.
Includes liver soup, same price for large size
It’s amazing how they compete with just one choice of Unaju❗️
The sauce was a little different from the eel sauce I usually eat, and I thought it was a little less sweet.
The sauce was not sweet, so I was able to eat it till the end without getting bored.
Please note that the large portion is quite large.
It's only open on weekdays, but I really hope it stays open for a long time, perhaps because it's for older people.
