Unagi Nishihara Description
The menu at Unagi Nishihara features a variety of eel dishes, with their signature dish being the 'Gohonmoto,' which consists of five perfectly grilled eel skewers.

This technique allows for a larger surface area to be coated with their special sauce, resulting in a tender and flavorful eel.
In addition to their exceptional eel dishes, Unagi Nishihara also offers a selection of side dishes that perfectly complement the main attraction. The restaurant takes pride in their carefully selected domestic rice and sauce, which enhance the flavors of the eel. The interior of the restaurant exudes a calm and inviting atmosphere, reflecting the owner's attention to detail and passion for his craft.
For those seeking an authentic and unforgettable eel dining experience in Osaka, Unagi Nishihara is the place to be. With their dedication to using only the finest ingredients and their mastery of the 'koichi' grilling technique, every bite at Unagi Nishihara is a true delight for the senses.
