"The outside was pleasantly grilled with charcoal, the smell was pleasantly appetizing. Inside was tender, no fishy smell and very tasty. It melts in your mouth and I couldn't stop eating it. The sauce was doing an excellent job in bringing out the beautiful taste of the eel. Overall, I love it! Definitely did not regret the only meal we had at Nagoya and would come back!"

Arata Ishiko

"This restaurant offers the fattiest eel available during that season after a careful selection process, and it's grilled to crispy perfection by a master chef called an "unagishi." The interior is decorated using Japanese aesthetics, and there are comfortable tables set into the floor as well as half-private rooms, so this restaurant is recommended for people that want to enjoy delicious hitsumabushi in a relaxed space."
