   A Sought-After Unagi Dish with a Rich, Satisfying Flavor

   "Shimizuya," an eel restaurant operated by three generations, is approximately a 5-minute walk from Kiga Station on the Tenryu Hamanako Railroad and approximately a 15-minute drive from the Mikkabi Interchange on the Tomei Expressway. The restaurant is often already full when it opens at 11:00 A.M., and on holidays, the parking lot fills with cars bearing license plates from outside the prefecture. Reservations are not accepted, and numbered tickets are issued during busy periods. Skilled chefs assess the individual characteristics of each eel and carefully adjust the grilling, producing tender eel coated in a rich sweet-and-savory sauce. While waiting for each order to be grilled, the warm interior offers a setting filled with the appetizing aroma of eel and paintings collected by the previous owner.

   Enjoy Premium Eel Grilled by the Second-Generation Master

   The owner trained at a traditional Japanese restaurant in Shimizu City and took over the business in 2020 as the second-generation owner of "Hirota Unagi". He sources live eels from areas in season, ensuring he uses the freshest and most delicious ones available. He values the knowledge acquired during his training, the techniques passed down from his father, and the traditional secret sauce, which together allow him to serve high-quality eel dishes every day. He emphasizes, "I want people to enjoy eel with peace of mind." As you pass through the noren curtain, you are greeted by a fragrant aroma that fills the air, and an irori hearth comes into view, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant also features a tatami room that can accommodate up to 20 guests, suitable for various occasions. Here, you can savor eel dishes at your leisure in a charming, rustic-style setting.

   Hamamatsu Eel Dining Surrounded by Scenic Landscapes
