🍜 Unagi Cuisine Wakatsumiya

An old-established eel restaurant that opened in the late Edo period. Located beside the riverbank in the water town of "Yanagawa," it has maintained its unchanged deliciousness for over 160 years. It is a renowned establishment that attracts many repeat customers from all over Japan. Each eel is carefully grilled by skilled chefs, resulting in a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Paired with a secret sauce passed down since the restaurant's opening, the freshness of the eel is even more pronounced. The "Premium Grilled Eel Steamed Rice" is especially recommended. Thick and juicy eel is placed on rice drizzled with a special sauce, and steamed together with handmade egg strips. After steaming, the flavors of the egg and eel permeate the rice, making it incredibly delicious! Other offerings include kabayaki, eel rice bowls, and vegetarian grilled options, allowing customers to choose according to their preferred taste. The à la carte menu is also rich, featuring refreshing pickled dishes like "Eel with Vinegar and Cucumber," crispy "Fish Bone Crisps," and "Eel Tamagoyaki," which is enveloped in soft egg. The interior is a tranquil space filled with Japanese charm, featuring a garden where visitors can enjoy the changing scenery with the seasons, allowing for a leisurely time while taking in the beautiful views.
