I was recommended to try Hitsumabushi at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The eel was generously topped on rice, with a crispy exterior and tender texture. The broth was also delicious. I can't go often, but I definitely want to visit again!

After a long time, I went to eat eel at a long-established eel wholesaler that has been in business for over 90 years. I ordered the Hitsumabushi for 4180 yen (tax included). The first bowl was just eel, the second bowl was eel and condiments mixed with rice, and the third bowl had eel, condiments, rice, and broth poured over it. The flavor was sealed in, with a crispy and fragrant exterior and a juicy interior. This eel is cooked quickly at high heat without steaming. The sauce, passed down since the establishment, combines perfectly with the eel's fat and flavor, creating the ultimate deliciousness. If you become friends on LINE, you can receive bone crackers as a gift. I also ordered a Highball (Dewar's) for 495 yen. During lunch hours (11:00-17:00), you can get a free drink and other limited-time benefits. I am planning to come back for lunch next time. I highly recommend this place for those who want to eat delicious eel.

I visited for lunch on a Saturday. Since the other restaurants on the same floor had long lines, I decided to come here instead. However, the seats filled up quickly after I entered, so I might have just been lucky with the timing. I ordered the recommended hitsumabushi, while my friend ordered the una-juu (grilled eel over rice). We were taught how to eat them properly, and the eel was fluffy and delicious. We could choose to have extra rice at no extra cost. When our food arrived, I thought I should have gotten the extra rice, but I was actually satisfied with the regular portion after eating it. I would like to visit again when I go to Yodobashi next time.

I really wanted to eat eel, so I came here alone! It was 3:00 pm on a weekday, and there weren't many customers, so it was a bit awkward to enter! But soon, a staff member guided me to a table. I had already decided to order the special deluxe eel bowl. After a while, the eel bowl arrived (*´艸｀) I was thrilled to enjoy it alone!! It was crispy and flavorful, so delicious! I felt so happy!!! The staff was kind and friendly, which was nice. I definitely want to come back again soon!

I wanted to eat Hitsumabushi at Lucua from noon because it was the Yodogawa fireworks, but the reservations were full all day, so I came to this place for the first time. I ordered the Hitsumabushi and the Unagi (eel) rice bowl, but both had rice that was too mushy, almost like porridge, and too soft. The eel tasted good but it was small and thin. I had just eaten authentic Hitsumabushi in Nagoya about two weeks ago, so I was looking forward to trying it in Osaka, but I was disappointed. Despite the high price, the quality was not up to par to be served to customers. There were also many foreign customers, and I didn't want them to think this was representative of Japanese Hitsumabushi or Unagi rice bowl. Hmm, disappointing.

I couldn't make a same-day reservation and ended up waiting on 7/30, which may have been the reason for the long wait. However, once I placed my order, the food came surprisingly quickly. It was delicious. I'm just glad I got to eat eel.

I ordered the "Unadon" (grilled eel over rice) for 3,600 yen. You can choose the amount of rice you want, from generous to small. It is grilled in the Kansai style, with a crispy exterior and tender flesh. If you sit at the counter, you can watch the eel being grilled! By adding the restaurant on LINE as a friend and including your birthday, you can receive a coupon for your birthday month. During lunchtime from 11:00 to 17:00, you get a complimentary drink, which is a nice touch. For alcohol, you can choose between highball and lemon sour, while soft drinks include cola, Calpis, oolong tea, green tea, orange juice, and apple juice.

The hot weather has been draining my energy and motivation, so I decided to visit a restaurant with some friends to enjoy some delicious food. The Links restaurant was bustling with customers, but we managed to find a table as we arrived early. We ordered eel rice bowl and hittsumabushi, and after much deliberation, I chose the hittsumabushi. I haven't had Kansai-style hittsumabushi much before, but it was delicious! I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied. This place also offers eel bones and a free drink service if you add them as a LINE friend, so be sure to check it out. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

They offer a variety of eel dishes such as hitsumabushi, unaju, and other set menus. This time, I ordered the most popular hitsumabushi! You can choose the amount of rice from small, regular, or large, so I decided to go for the large portion without hesitation. The eel is grilled over charcoal without steaming, resulting in crispy skin, a savory aroma, and thick meat to enjoy. The secret sauce, full of flavor, is also available on the table for extra dipping. It enhances the deliciousness of the eel. Pour fragrant broth over it and make it into ochazuke for a light taste. You can also enjoy different flavors with three types of condiments and sansho pepper. From 11:00 to 17:00, you can enjoy a free drink, which is a nice bonus. [Menu Ordered This Time] Hitsumabushi 4,180 yen • Pickles, clear soup, broth, 3 condiments.

I reserved a private room, so I could eat slowly. With a coupon, I also got beer and lemon sour, which was a great deal. The grilled eel was crispy and delicious. I enjoyed it by eating the first glass as is, adding condiments to the second glass, and pouring broth over the third glass. It was a delightful experience.

I went shopping for my son's clothes and shoes in Umeda, and I found a new eel restaurant called Links Umeda. Let's try it for lunch! They have Hitsumabushi for 4180 yen, which is a grilled eel dish that is not too crispy like Unagi Jiro, with a hint of real sansho pepper in a Peugeot mill. The service was very polite, and they even offered a complimentary drink. I chose Oolong tea since I have work later, but they also have beer and highball options. The customer service was excellent. Thank you for the meal. #Hitsumabushi #OsakaGourmet #EelRestaurant #OsakaLunch #YodobashiUmedaLunch #UnagiDon #UmedaGourmet

✨Unagi no Nakano✨ at LINKS UMEDA I found out about a delicious eel restaurant serving hitsumabushi at LINKS UMEDA, so I decided to go check it out. It was my first time visiting this facility since it became LINKS UMEDA, and I must say, the place was quite spacious and I had to wander around a bit before finding the restaurant. Unagi no Nakano is located on the 8th floor of LINKS UMEDA. The interior of the restaurant was very clean, with counter seats and table seats available. I opted for a counter seat, where I could enjoy watching the eel being cooked right in front of me. It was a delightful experience. I noticed there was another person sitting at the counter besides me, so I believe it's a restaurant where women dining alone can feel comfortable. The skill required to cook eel is quite admirable. For my drink, I chose oolong tea as I wanted something light rather than alcohol. By adding Unagi no Nakano as a friend on LINE, I received eel bone senbei as a complimentary snack. I enjoyed munching on the crispy senbei while sipping my oolong tea. The eel hitsumabushi came in three sizes: small, regular, and large. I opted for the regular size, and when it arrived, I was amazed by how luxurious it looked. The hitsumabushi set came with condiments, tea soup for ochazuke, and was truly a feast for the eyes. Opening the lid revealed a generous amount of eel on a bed of rice, and underneath the eel, there was even more eel. I was thrilled by this surprise. I started with just rice and eel for my first serving, and it was incredibly delicious. The eel was perfectly grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, complemented by the savory sauce. For my second serving, I added condiments to the rice and eel. The combination of nori, wasabi, and small rice crackers was a new experience for me, and it elevated the flavors even more. Every bite was a delight. Lastly, I enjoyed the remaining eel as ochazuke by pouring the tea soup and adding condiments. The light and flavorful tea soup paired excellently with the well-seasoned eel, creating a satisfying dish. The combination of wasabi, nori, and crunchy rice crackers added another layer of enjoyment. I also tried sprinkling some sansho pepper on the eel, and the combination was fantastic. The meal was completed with a light and refreshing citrusy yuzu peel-infused clear soup and pickled cucumbers and daikon. Overall, everything was delicious, and I left the restaurant feeling fully satisfied. I'm definitely coming back, especially with the added benefits of the LINE points service and birthday coupons.✨❤️

That excitement once again... Since my last visit, I have become a fan of the "eel specialty restaurant". The restaurant is located in the restaurant area on the 8th floor of LINKS UMEDA, with a stylish exterior and interior that doesn't look like a typical eel specialty restaurant. This time, I splurged on the "Ultimate Eel Rice Bowl". Waiting at the counter seat where you can see the grilling area, drooling for a few minutes... It's here! The Ultimate Eel Rice Bowl. As I mentioned before, the eel is carefully selected by an eel wholesaler and is prepared and served fresh in the restaurant. The fresh eel is grilled quickly at high heat without steaming, and the eel's fat and umami that have been accumulated since the establishment are infused into the eel with the "secret sauce" in a large pot. The grilled eel is crispy and fragrant on the skin side, and juicy and tender on the inside. It was so delicious that I cried. The gentle dashi broth combined with the umami of the eel was absolutely delicious. Oh, what happiness. As I write this, I feel like eating it again. The staff's attention and care are also excellent, making it a recommended restaurant where you can enjoy your meal comfortably. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Unagi Nakano's Hitsumabushi is a dish where the eel is only grilled without steaming, resulting in a crispy skin and a fluffy texture of the flesh. The eel is carefully selected based on the season, so you can enjoy delicious eel with good fat content all year round. I had Hitsumabushi last time, so this time I went for the Unaju, which was packed tightly in a lacquered box with freshly grilled eel and hot rice. The secret sauce is light and enhances the deliciousness of the eel. There were also two types of carefully selected sansho peppers on the table.

▶️Hitsumabushi Special - 4510 yen - Established for over 90 years, the long-standing Nakasho Shoten has a history of success that rivals many famous eel restaurants. The eel is prepared and grilled in the store after you place your order. This was my second visit, and once again, the hitsumabushi here is my personal favorite. The quality and freshness of the ingredients are outstanding. The eel skin is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is juicy and tender. The secret sauce is not too sweet, and when you taste it, the richness and flavor of the eel blend perfectly. It is undeniably delicious! After enjoying the eel with the sauce, I added plenty of dashi broth to make hitsumabushi. I also had it with condiments like sansho pepper and wasabi. It was the ultimate happiness. By the way, the atmosphere inside the store is also nice, making it a great recommendation for anniversaries or celebrations. Please give it a try! ☺️

Established in 1932, this eel specialty restaurant prides itself on its direct management and confident flavors. Located in Link's Umeda, it is easy to find. The eel had a crispy skin and a tender texture, complemented by the secret sauce which was delicious. The portion size was generous and satisfying. The restaurant has a clean and calm atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy delicious eel dishes. The staff were friendly and I was able to relax and take my time. I love eel - if I crave it again, I would definitely go back. The location is also very convenient.

You can enjoy delicious Kansai-style eel dishes made with freshly prepared live eel at this restaurant. I tried the Hitsumabushi, which costs 4180 yen, a bit luxurious but a must-try for eel lovers. Hitsumabushi allows you to savor the eel as it is first, then enjoy it with seaweed and wasabi, and finally pour the broth over it for a delightful experience. The crispy texture of the eel, combined with the broth, creates a luxurious taste in your mouth. Eel lovers will be ecstatic about this dish! I received a bone senbei snack after adding the restaurant on LINE. It's crispy and rich in calcium. Try it because it's delicious!

I visited GW and had hitsumabushi in a bright and clean restaurant. The outside was crispy and the inside was fluffy, making it very delicious. The staff were polite and the atmosphere was comfortable, allowing me to enjoy my meal slowly. There were many foreign customers, and I appreciated the detailed explanation of the condiments. If I may make one luxurious request, it would be nice to have some green onions or other condiments for more flavor variations. Thank you for the meal.

Unagi wholesaler "Nakasho Shoten" owned eel restaurant, indulging in Hitsumabushi - LINKS UMEDA's dining options were known for the "Delicious Food Alley" in the underground dining area, but I didn't know there were various options on the 8th floor as well. The Hitsumabushi (including tax 4,180 yen) is a luxurious dish with a box filled with eel. Just looking at it gets you excited, right? The high-quality eel that can be wholesaled by the long-established wholesaler boasts a crispy skin and a delicious aroma! The carefully selected live eels are purchased and processed daily at the store! If you sit at the counter, you can watch the artisan grilling the eel right in front of you. The skin is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is soft and juicy! You can really taste the deliciousness of the eel, and the secret sauce passed down from the founding is just the right amount of sweetness, so tasty! You can choose from three levels of rice portion (small, regular, large), I chose regular and it was enough to enjoy until the end! First, eat as is. Next, try it with condiments. Finally, enjoy the stable ochazuke with broth! I love Hitsumabushi because you can enjoy various flavors multiple times. I also enjoyed bone senbei while waiting. You can get it by adding a LINE friend, so be sure to do so! There is also a happy service of one free drink during lunchtime until 5 pm, and takeout is also available. If you're interested, definitely give it a try!

You can choose the amount of rice for Hitsumabushi, and this time I chose a small portion. The eel was grilled to perfection, with crispy skin and tender meat, providing a satisfying texture. You can further enjoy it by adding condiments such as sauce and sansho pepper on top. I recommend savoring the original flavor of Hitsumabushi on the first bowl, enhancing the taste with condiments on the second bowl, and enjoying a refreshing taste with ochazuke on the third bowl. The crispy and juicy bone senbei was also a delightful snack to enjoy while waiting.

Established in 1932, the long-established eel wholesale store "Nakasho Shoten" operates "Unagi no Nakasho," a restaurant that offers eel dishes. With over 90 years of experience, they provide eel of exceptional freshness by carefully selecting live eels and preparing them in-store daily. The eel is grilled using high heat from binchotan charcoal in the Kansai style, without steaming. The signature dishes are "Unaju" and "Hitsumabushi." I ordered the Hitsumabushi special this time. The eel was perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside and tender inside, bursting with flavor. The sauce was light and elegant, showcasing the craftsmanship of the chef. The Hitsumabushi allows for flavor variations - the first bowl is enjoyed as is, the second with condiments (wasabi, seaweed, rice cracker), and the third with dashi broth for a light and soothing taste that pairs perfectly with the eel and rice. It was a truly delightful eel experience that left me impressed. The lunch hours are from 11:00 to 17:00, offering a generous time frame. Plus, during lunch hours, you get a free drink! By adding them on LINE, I received crispy "bone senbei" as a gift. The menu also includes a variety of side dishes and reasonably priced set meals, with takeaway options available.
