Of course the eel was delicious, but the skewers were really delicious.
One day in September 2023
It's definitely the best here. I went there on the day, and everything was delicious, including the eel skewers, chicken fillet skewers, and fried chikuwa seaweed, which cost 2,750 yen. It's hard to find eel jus at this price these days, and the taste is so good. It's definitely a heavy rotation.

The skewers other than eel are also quite delicious, and the relaxing atmosphere is perfect for drinking alone. The shop is run by a husband and wife team, and they have a perfect sense of distance from the customers even at the counter.They are kind even at first glance, and when you want to talk, they'll talk to you, and when you want to do something, they'll leave you alone.
