An Eel Specialty Store in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Where You Can Enjoy a Spectacular View
An eel specialty store located on the 18th floor of Hotel Concorde Hamamatsu, which stands near Hamamatsu Castle in Shizuoka . The eel from Lake Hamana, which is thick, fatty, and of consistent quality, is carefully grilled to create a fluffy texture on the inside and a crispy exterior. The sauce, inherited from the recipe of Hotel Kokonoe, a luxury inn that closed in 2021, is sweet and rich, and pairs perfectly with the sticky, flavorful rice made with Koshihikari rice grown locally in Hamamatsu City. It's also nice to have a selection of local sake carefully selected by the sake master. In addition to table seats, there are private rooms, so it is recommended for anniversaries and get-togethers.

A Panoramic View Overlooking the Cityscape of Hamamatsu
The interior features a sophisticated modern style, offering views of the Southern Alps and Hamamatsu City to the north, and Hamamatsu Castle and the Enshu Sea to the south. Overlooking Hamamatsu Castle, the location provides a stunning night view illuminated by city lights. A meal can be enjoyed while taking in the breathtaking panoramic scenery.

"Lake Hamana Eel" Is High Quality and Has Good Fat
The eel served is "Lake Hamana Eel," farmed in the Lake Hamana area. While eels are typically shipped after six months to a year, "Lake Hamana Eel" is raised for over a year, with all fry sourced exclusively from Shizuoka . Enjoy the rich, fatty, and thick eel.
