I wanted to eat some proper eel on the midsummer day of the ox, so I decided to visit this restaurant after a long time. I usually only visit for lunch on weekends because the prices are a bit high, but this time I went in the evening. The front of the restaurant was filled with the smoke of grilling eel, which smelled delicious. I ordered the grilled eel set meal, and it came in two separate stacked boxes, which was a bit surprising as I was expecting it to be served on a plate. The eel itself had a great texture and tasted delicious.

In Kinshicho Kita-guchi, there is an eel restaurant that has a nostalgic Showa era atmosphere. The restaurant, named "Ushiwaka," offers a variety of dishes besides eel, allowing customers to enjoy drinking and snacking before finishing with a delicious eel rice bowl. The retro appearance of both the exterior and interior exudes a sense of the Showa era. We enjoyed sashimi, grilled eel liver, and fried chicken with a glass of shochu on the rocks. The eel rice bowl at the end was light and tasty. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

For dinner today, after finishing a meeting with a client, I went to Ushiwaka in Kinshicho, a restaurant specializing in eel. The aroma of the eel tempted us, so my colleague and I decided to try this place for the first time. We started with sashimi of tuna and red sea bream. The tuna sashimi here costs the same as at local izakayas or in Yokohama, but the quality here is the best. We also ordered some dried fish flakes as an additional dish, which was small but packed with flavor. We then switched to a cold sake called Takashimizu. This restaurant only offers Takashimizu in 300ml bottles, so if you want expensive sake, you'll have to go elsewhere. Next, we tried the foie gras and kombu with roe, followed by grilled liver, both of which were delicious. We also had boiled spinach and tuna with miso as palate cleansers. The tuna with miso was exceptional. Finally, we ordered deep-fried river shrimp and eel on rice. The eel was grilled to a crispy perfection. Thank you for the wonderful meal. We'll definitely be back!

On June 15th (Tuesday), I went to Unagi Kappo Ushiwaka in Kinshicho for a lunch meeting. The weather was getting hot, so I decided to have some eel. It's been a while! The restaurant is located about a 3-minute walk from Kinshicho Station North Exit. The exterior has a traditional feel and looks really nice. I ordered the A lunch Unaju set (1500 yen) for lunch. It was a good deal considering the price, but the eel sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. The portion size and quality of the eel were just okay, nothing outstanding. The set also came with side dishes like tuna, potato salad, and miso soup, so overall, it was a decent value for the price. Thank you for the meal!

I decided to go to Kinshicho and parked my company car before heading out for lunch. While wandering around, I saw a sign with a picture of unagi (eel) on it and immediately decided to enter the restaurant. It was around 1:00 PM when I ordered the lunch set which included unagi for 1500 yen. The lunch set also came with potato salad, tuna sashimi, and soup. The portion of unagi was small, but considering the price, it was understandable. However, it was delicious.

Unagi Kappo Ushiwaka in Nishinippori for eel lunch. lured by the smoke from the grill, I visited Unagi Kappo Ushiwaka for the first time. For lunch, they offer two options: "A Unaju Lunch" for 1,500 yen and "B Unadon Lunch" for 1,000 yen. The eel is grilled over charcoal at the storefront. The restaurant and the street outside smell amazing! I saw the menu board outside and decided to go in. I opted for the modest "B Unadon Lunch." The meal started with barley tea, pickles, a small dish (thick fried tofu), and miso soup. And then came the star of the show, the Unadon. The eel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was not frozen but prepared with care through cutting, grilling, steaming, and grilling again. Although the portion was small, it was quite delicious. Thank you for the tasty meal.

When I jumped in, the kind landlady and the eel were delicious! Next time, I'll go all out.

It has been almost 10 years since I last visited this restaurant. The eel kabayaki was small in size but had no strong smell.

It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!!

"Unagi (eel) lunch set for 1,500 yen"

Lunch unagi-don is tasty and cost-effective.

Delicious. But the eel seems small. Worth the price.

Thankful or perhaps just a spoiled guy, I have never had trouble eating eel for over 40 years, but this year things have changed... Eel has become a super expensive fish. The price is high, so I can't imagine the fear of diving in and missing the target! On the night before the Day of the Ox, I decided to visit San Yū for eel on a whim, only to find a sign saying "Closed for a private event" (;ﾟдﾟ) I quickly explored the nearby area and found this place. When I peeked inside, it was bustling, but luckily there was one table seat available, which was a relief! There are counter seats, two 4-person tables, two 2-person tables, and a tatami room in the back without electricity. As it is an "eel ryotei," there is a variety of side dishes like sashimi available as well. I ordered alcohol, eel liver, grilled eel liver, eel roll, and eel rice box (pine). I'm not sure if they are cutting the liver in the store, but the size of the liver served later is proportional to the size of the eel. It's not frozen. The eel roll was beautifully fluffy with a thick and flavorful dashimaki. However, I think the price is a bit too high for this dish! The eel rice box (pine) was satisfying with steamed, grilled, and sauce-covered eel. The sauce is slightly sweet and goes well with the fragrant grilled eel. Taste preferences vary greatly, so it's hard to say, but... I found it a bit disappointing that the size was probably 5.5P, lacking the plump thickness of a "pine" grade eel, but considering the current price and location of eel, I guess it's acceptable. The interior of the restaurant is a bit narrow, but it has an old-fashioned feel and a sense of cleanliness, although it was a bit disappointing to see equipment stacked in the corner of the counter seat... I think everyone has budget constraints, but in this day and age, I recommend ordering the higher grade at the restaurant if you're going to eat eel. Otherwise, you won't understand the true essence of it~

Today is the 29th, which is Meat Day... I couldn't decide between Mrs. Burg, Mr. Danger, but ended up choosing eel? So, I decided to go to "Unagi Kappo Ushiwaka" located near the station. They offer an eel rice bowl, tuna sashimi, simmered dish, and pickles for only 1,000 yen, which seems like a good deal. The sign saying they use Kishu Binchotan charcoal (Sato Fuel) caught my eye, and when I opened the door, it felt nostalgic inside. Just like the Mountain I went to yesterday, there are still shops in Kinshicho North Exit that have that Showa era atmosphere. Luckily, a table was available, so I decided to have the lunch special, an eel rice bowl. The tuna sashimi, simmered dish, and pickles were brought to me. The traditional home-cooked flavors in Kappo cuisine are very pleasing. Next, the eel rice bowl and miso soup arrived, and when I opened the lid, I was surprised to see a small portion of eel! Well, for 1,000 yen, I guess this is what you get. The skin was tough, so I carefully considered the balance with the rice before eating. I enjoyed it with the tuna sashimi, simmered dish, and pickles. I wonder if they don't serve pine mushrooms for lunch!?

I had some business in Kinshicho and decided to have lunch there instead of heading straight back. I initially planned to go to an Indian buffet, but on the way, I saw a sign for eel rice bowls for 1000 yen before reaching my destination. As a fan of eel, I couldn't resist. It was a very good and satisfying lunch deal with a full house. Thank you for the meal. It was really great. There seemed to be a lot of regular customers.

Just a 3-minute walk from Kinshicho Station North Exit, there's a lunch set at the storefront of Unagi Kappo Ushiwaka - eel over rice with tuna sashimi, potato salad, and pickles for 1000 yen. The interior has a nice Showa era vibe. I ordered the lunch set and the tuna sashimi set arrived in 7 minutes, followed by the eel over rice. The eel was cute and slightly bigger than the one you get for a coin. They sprinkle some sansho pepper on it. It was plump and tasty. The tuna sashimi and potato salad were also good, especially for the price of 1000 yen. Overall, satisfied.

We visited this restaurant with two people around 2:30 in the afternoon on a holiday. Due to my fault, we started late and before we knew it, it was already this time. My companion was about to collapse from hunger... It was a difficult time with no clear meal options. I looked around in a hurry and spotted "Gyuwaka" which had caught my eye before. The open sign was out, but it seemed like they were on a break. I cautiously opened the door and asked if they were open. They kindly welcomed us in and confirmed that they serve lunch until 2 pm, and then reopen for dinner at 4 pm. We both ordered the Unaju set for 2,700 yen each, along with a large bottle of beer for 650 yen. After about 15 minutes, the Unaju set arrived. When we opened the lid, we were greeted with a beautiful sight. The eel was fragrant and plump, with a sweet but not overpowering sauce. It was delicious. The eel was quite large and the rice was also tasty. It was a satisfying meal for 2,700 yen.
