Gifu
Founded in 1931, "Sumibiyaki Unagi Uotora" has preserved its secret sauce and traditional techniques for more than 80 years. Skilled chefs carefully grill high-quality eel over specially selected binchotan charcoal, creating a crisp, fragrant skin and a juicy, tender interior that has earned praise even from diners who rarely eat eel. The sauce is carefully maintained every day to preserve its ideal flavor. The signature "Hitsumabushi" is served first with grilled eel and rice, followed by condiments for a change in flavor, and finally as ochazuke. The restaurant also attracts many visitors from outside the prefecture seeking its distinctive taste. Located in Hachiman, Gujo, Gifu, an area known for spring water selected first among Japan's "100 Famous Waters," the restaurant showcases a traditional flavor shaped by the local water.
As the word ``eel streamer'' suggests, eel dishes have long been popular in Japan as an auspicious delicacy, and are the perfect food to decorate important occasions, hospitality, and important anniversaries. In addition to areas famous for producing eel, there are long-established and famous eel restaurants in major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, which have been chosen for entertaining and anniversaries. It is rare to find a restaurant that sells rare wild eel, making it even more special.

Other impressive and hearty options include the oke-mabushi, a rice bowl containing five long grilled eels, and the hitsumabushi, a rice bowl containing so much eel that it almost spills out of the lid.
