High-Quality Grilled Eel at a Reasonable Price
Opened in July 2024, this eel restaurant is located approximately a 5-minute walk from Terachimachi Station on the Hankai Electric Railway. The owner, who has long supplied eel to department stores throughout Osaka Prefecture, is known for offering high-quality eel at reasonable prices. The signature kabayaki (grilled eel with sauce) is prepared with great care over two days before serving. Inside, the space features a stylish ash beige interior, yet maintains a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere - reminiscent of a casual diner - reflecting the owner's warm and welcoming personality and "desire to make delicious eel more accessible".
A Fluffy Texture That Requires More Time and Effort Than the Price Would Suggest
The domestically sourced eel is prepared carefully and without compromise by the owner, who has many years of experience. The eel is grilled lightly and then left for a day, and the next day it is sauced, steamed, and grilled over an open flame. Enjoy the soft, fluffy texture of the eel, which you can easily insert your chopsticks into.
Reasonably Priced yet Filling
The lunch set, which includes "Nihon unagi (domestic eel)", "Unagi maze gohan (eel mixed rice)", and soup, offers generous portions at a reasonable price, made possible by a direct procurement route. The eel is available in either whole or half-size portions - an approachable option for international guests who may be new to eating eel.
