Enjoy the Finest River Fish at a Long-Established Restaurant in Tenryo Hita
A long - established eel and river fish restaurant that has been in business for over 160 years in Mameda Town, Hita City, Oita Prefecture, which flourished as a feudal lord during the Edo period. The river fish they sell, such as eel and sweetfish, are of such high quality that they are sold wholesale. The eel kabayaki grilled with a mild, not - too - sweet "secret sauce" that has been passed down from generation to generation is exceptionally delicious. The famous "Tenryo Unagi no Seiromushi", which uses carefully selected domestic eels, and the "Tenryo Ayu no Kamameshi", which is popular among women for its light taste, are must - try at least once. Enjoy the taste of a famous restaurant with a long history in a calm space filled with the warmth of wood, a reminder of the past.
