First visit. I had heard rumors that it was delicious, so I finally got to visit. I lined up to get a ticket and got number 3! The line grew quickly. When the store opened, I was guided to the 3rd floor. Wow, what a great view. I could see the Hakata River. The smell of grilled eel was irresistible even before entering, so I couldn't wait! I ordered the premium eel bowl for 4,990 yen. I'm not a fan of eel liver, so I had miso soup with red miso. Here it is, the long-awaited Yoshizuka eel, a must-have when Tamozan returns to Fukuoka. Without hesitation, I took a bite of the eel. Mmm! The crispy and moist texture, along with the sweet sauce, made for a fluffy eel. I've never had eel like this before! It's so delicious! There's a dipping sauce, so I generously dip the eel and rice. The sauce, rice, eel, and me. This is the kind of eel that makes you want to write a verse like Hino Ashihei. I hate that it's printed on the paper lunch mat! From the equator to Japan, and then to Yoshizuka for grilled eel. And then, the legend... The deliciousness is on a gigadein level. It even appears in Momotetsu at Nakasu Station! Actually, it's Nakasu Kawabata Station, but there seem to be many tourists. If I had the money, I'd want to go once a month. It's expensive and delicious, but it was really delicious. I'm satisfied with the 6 pieces. Thank you for the meal!

In the Kanto region, the eel here has a sweet sauce that you might not be used to if you're used to Kanto-style eel. However, the high-quality eel here is simply amazing. Delicious!! I came here for my mother's 80th birthday. When my mother was around 20 years old, she used to work near this restaurant and would come here several times, so she really wanted to come back. It's a restaurant with a long history.

I made a reservation and visited on a regular night. I went directly to the 3rd floor because of the reservation. I ordered the grilled eel set meal, with rice on the bottom tier and 4 slices of eel with sansho pepper on the top tier. You can choose between red pepper paste or grilled eel liver, and I chose the liver. The eel was delicious without any complaints, and I was surprised to see many foreign tourists dining there.

On the third day in Fukuoka, for lunch, I went to a popular eel restaurant called "Hakata Meidai Yoshizuka Eel Shop" at 10:45 am. After getting a ticket on the second floor with a 73-minute wait, I used an app to see how many people were ahead of me and wandered around to pass the time. When I returned, I noticed that customers were being called in quickly, even though some were not present. There were many inbound tourists from China and Korea that day, and I felt that some may not have understood when their number was called in Japanese. I thought about how I would feel if I were in a foreign country and couldn't understand the local language. Maybe displaying numbers on a monitor like McDonald's could be helpful. My number was called at 11:30, and I ordered the special eel rice bowl, grilled eel liver, and eel egg omelet. The liver and omelet were delicious, and when the eel arrived, I was surprised to see a sauce on the side. I wasn't used to dipping eel in sauce, but it turned out to be tasty. The eel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, providing a satisfying texture. Overall, it was a good meal, although I personally prefer the fluffy eel style from Kanto region. Contrary to some reviews, I was able to pay with a credit card, not just cash.

It was a rainy holiday, but I ordered an eel rice bowl with a wait of about 20 people in the morning. It was delicious with a crispy texture and the good oil of the eel coming out. The rice was cooked just right, creating a perfect harmony. The amount of rice may be a little too much. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to acquaintances visiting Hakata.

I ordered the menu item "Unadon (2 pieces)" for 2,150 yen (tax included). It is rice topped with grilled eel in sauce. I arrived at the restaurant at 7:00 PM, received number tag 173, and was seated after a 5-minute wait. I was probably the 173rd customer of the day. Thank you for the meal, Yoshizuka Unagiya!

I heard a rumor and visited the restaurant. There were a lot of people waiting, but I got a ticket and was able to enter in about 30 minutes. The eel was delicious and fragrant. However, the grilling style was not the Kanto style, so it might be a matter of preference. I indulged in a luxurious meal in the afternoon and left with a smile, surprised by how cheap it was.

I was able to enter the eel restaurant, which always has a long line, at a time that was late for lunch and early for dinner, so I was able to get in right away. It was my first time experiencing the style of eel, rice, and sauce being served separately, but I was impressed by how delicious it was!! The pickled cucumber and eel vinegar dish, which I probably ate for the first time, was also amazing with the refreshing cucumber and eel combination! When I visit Fukuoka, Hakata again, I will definitely visit this restaurant!! It was incredibly delicious!! Thank you for the meal.

The staff at the restaurant seemed very busy, but the eel was excellent! It was very delicious. The eel rice bowl had the eel and rice served separately, with the eel cooked just right and the inside was fluffy. It was so tasty that I felt like I was receiving the power of the eel from the inside of my body while eating it! The eel liver was average. Today, I just had the eel rice bowl for tea, but I would like to enjoy various dishes such as grilled eel, eel rolls, and broiled eel while slowly drinking sake at night. Thank you for the meal.

The number of foreign tourists has been increasing a lot! I started lining up a little before 10:30, and I was called for my turn at number 24 after the first round, but I had to wait for about 20 minutes. I had to overcome the lingering summer heat with the power of eel! Whenever I go, it's always impressively delicious.

I had una-don and grilled eel. The eel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, a truly exquisite dish. It was a Sunday, but there was a long line even before the opening. They distribute numbered tickets a little before opening. It was nice that they let us wait inside the restaurant, so we could escape the heat.

Once a year in Fukuoka. I come every year, so I can feel the changes over the year. Even with the price increase, the taste remains the same, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful, it's really a great place to visit anytime. This time, I noticed that the third-floor restroom now has facilities for ostomates, and the waiting system is now linked to LINE (last time it was just through email). It's really wonderful to see an environment where elderly people or those with disabilities can dine with peace of mind. This time, I had eaten too much at the hotel breakfast, so I just had four pieces of eel on rice. The eel was crispy and fragrant, with a sweet and salty sauce. Just being able to eat eel here makes me happy. Since it was just after the Obon holiday (August 14-15), the visit date was perfect. I got my ticket at 11:40 AM on a weekday (Obon holiday week), and was seated at 1 PM, so this time it was about a 1 hour 20 minute wait. The nearby parking lot also reduced its maximum fee to 800 yen. I'll definitely be going back next year!

I stopped by the delicious eel restaurant "Yoshizuka Unagiya Honten" in Fukuoka. Once again, I ordered the "Special Eel Bowl," which comes with 4 pieces of eel. I also ordered a draft beer and pickles. The combination of crispy eel skin and vinegared eel pickles was exquisite. The eel bowl had a crispy and fragrant skin, and unlike last time in winter when it lacked fat and felt fluffy, this time the flesh was fluffy and the skin crispy, making it delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I always wanted to visit this very famous restaurant. I had never been before, but had some business nearby so I decided to go. It was around 3 pm, and the place was bustling with tourists from overseas. The eel was truly delicious, just as rumored. Unlike the overly sweet sauce used in eel restaurants in Yanagawa and Chikugo, this one had the perfect level of sweetness. You could also taste the crispiness of the skin, making it a place that makes you want to come back again someday.

This time, we visited with all our relatives before the Bon festival. Just like last time, we used a private room so we could enjoy a good time without worrying about the people around us. Of course, there is an extra fee for the private room, but I think it's worth it. The eel itself was delicious as always, with a crispy skin. Eel is just so good!

This is a highly recommended eel restaurant in Fukuoka. The eel is delicious and tender, a must-visit place whenever I return home. I always make sure to order the eel rolls and eel bone crackers. I feel like having it again after a long time. The photo was taken 11 years ago.

At the restaurant, my girlfriend treated me to a birthday feast at my favorite place in Fukuoka, where I tried "Yoshizuka eel" for the first time. She's the best girlfriend I've ever had! The eel was a bit expensive this year, but Yoshizuka eel is still the best. The traditional grilling technique is top-notch and the aroma and taste left a lasting impression. We went at a less crowded time to avoid the long lines. Yoshizuka eel is truly the best in Japan!

Since it's the day of the ox, I visited this place to prevent summer fatigue, a tradition I've been following for over 50 years (you can tell my age now). I arrived around 4 pm, so there was a short wait of a few minutes. Lucky me! I ordered the eel and seasonal flavors bento box to enjoy. Unfortunately, they were already sold out of the eel bone crackers by the morning. The bento box had a variety of delicious dishes that paired well with my beer. It's always a pleasure to eat here, and the food never disappoints. By 5:30 pm, the sign for sold out eel was up. I was fortunate to be able to eat without any wait time. Truly lucky!

The eel here is definitely the most delicious. I arrived at 10:30 on Saturday morning and waited in line for about 2 hours, but I still want to eat it again even if I have to wait. It takes about 15-20 minutes from ordering to serving the eel rice bowl, so I always order pickles during that time.

This time, I decided to have lunch in Hakata, and a friend who knows Hakata recommended "Yoshizuka Unagi" enthusiastically. I love eel, and I know the good points of both Kanto and Kansai eel dishes. I have eaten at some pretty good restaurants before, so I was curious to see how good it would be this time. I made a reservation in advance, but it was already full, so they told me to come directly. Exciting. When I arrived on Friday at lunchtime, I was a little surprised. It was a weekday, but there was an 80-minute wait (laughs). I was prepared for that, so I waited patiently. I was seated roughly on schedule and checked the menu. Since I don't come here often, I decided to just eat what I wanted. I ordered the special Una-ju (eel over rice) for 4990 yen and the liver skewers for 760 yen. I like liver skewers, so I ordered two, a bit extravagant! When it was served, it looked elegant and beautiful. When I opened the box, the eel and rice were served separately, allowing you to eat them as you like. I tried the eel as it is first. With the first bite, I felt like I had reached the peak of all the eel dishes I had ever eaten (laughs). There is a hybrid of the fluffy eel flavor from Kanto and the crispy eel flavor from Kansai, which is quite interesting. Next, I tried dipping it in the sauce and eating it with the rice. It was also delicious. The sauce is sweet but not too sweet, and it's not sticky, which enhances the flavor of the eel. There was a lot of sansho pepper and shichimi (Japanese seven-spice blend) on the table, so I piled up the sansho pepper with the sauce on the rice. Piling up the sansho pepper is something I love to do, but it's not easy to do unless you have a spoon like here. It was also delicious! It was incredibly tasty, not losing to the generous amount of sansho pepper. I then ate the rice with the sauce and sansho pepper without thinking. Finished in no time. The liver skewers were next. Beautiful liver skewers. I tried one as it is, and it was delicious. With the sauce, it was even better. The sauce with the sansho pepper was super tasty! I could easily eat about 10 liver skewers alone. However, I had to leave some room because I had motsunabe (offal hot pot) waiting for me that night. Finally, I drank some roasted green tea and finished it this time. The eel was truly wonderful, just as rumored. Just one thing, I prefer the rice with the eel a bit firmer. Nevertheless, it's worth stopping by to eat this eel. Looking forward to the next time I can come back. Even so, spending 6510 yen for lunch, am I a big shot (laughs)?

It was my first time at Yoshizuka in 2 years! I couldn't make a reservation, so I had to line up for the numbered tickets starting from 10 am. I thought it would be fine on a weekday, but when I arrived at 10 am, there was already a line. I ended up being the 13th group in line. We finally got seated at 10:30 and after waiting for about 50 minutes, we were able to eat. The wait was worth it as the food was fluffy and delicious! It was my first time trying the grilled white fish, and when I reheated it at home, the delicious fat came out even more. It would be nice to be able to eat without waiting in line next time.
