🍜 Charcoal-Grilled Eel Fuji Main Store

Located in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, this eel restaurant opened in 1995 and has become a Michelin-starred establishment in just 25 years. It is one of the top restaurants in Nagoya. The restaurant uses larger eel, specifically the "Aou" eel, which is 30% bigger than the average. The Aou eel is characterized by its high fat content and rich flavor, carefully grilled over high-temperature charcoal, resulting in a crispy exterior and a fluffy, tender interior. The intense aroma fills the mouth, allowing diners to savor the original delicious taste of the eel. Another key to the eel's deliciousness is the unique sauce developed by the founder after years of research, which is repeatedly simmered with added ingredients. This sauce perfectly matches the taste preferences of Aichi residents and complements the "Aou" eel, making it a great pairing with rice. The luxurious "Jōtaku Unadon," featuring extra-large eel over rice, and the "Unadon San-shu," which offers three different ways to enjoy eel with spices and broth, are both considered exquisite delicacies. In addition to enjoying exquisite eel dishes in a calm and stable atmosphere, the wide selection of sake and shochu is also quite appealing, with recommendations available for pairings with the dishes.

The Michelin Guide recommends one of the top eel restaurants in Nagoya. They use larger blue eel that is 30% bigger than the average eel. The founder has spent many years developing a unique sauce that pairs perfectly with blue eel. A variety of alcoholic beverages are available to complement the dishes.
