Let's get through the hot summer with the power food of summer, which is "eel." This well-known luxury dish may seem intimidating to try, but this restaurant offers a casual dining experience with eat-in and takeout options. Opened on August 8th ✨ The menu I tried on that day was *Special Eel Rice Bowl* and *Special Eel Hitsumabushi.* When you lift the lid, the sauce and fragrant aroma are irresistible, stimulating your appetite. The eel is incredibly tender and fluffy, making it difficult to pick up with chopsticks. The perfectly cooked white rice has just the right amount of moisture. The sauce soaks in, making it incredibly delicious. I couldn't help but devour it (laughs). I enjoyed the hitsumabushi as is, then with condiments, and finally with the broth poured over it. I was able to fully appreciate the deliciousness of each dish. *No parking available*

Unagi Hitsumabushi at Umami Osaka in Morinomiya, Osaka. This restaurant opened on August 8th and serves eel carefully selected from overseas eel farms, ensuring quality and taste. They use a special sauce made with deep-sea water from Kochi and rice from Hokkaido for a sweet and chewy texture. The Unagi Hitsumabushi is priced at 4,400 yen and the Unagi Temari Sushi (8 pieces) at 2,640 yen. The eel is cooked perfectly with a juicy and fluffy texture, rich in magnesium and minerals. The rice is also delicious, making the Hitsumabushi a must-try. The restaurant is located near Osaka Castle, just a 5-minute walk from Morinomiya Station. Overall, a delightful dining experience!

I went to eat to boost my spirits - I visited a newly opened eel restaurant called "Unagi-dokoro Misami" in Osaka Morinomiya in August. The restaurant has a sign with an eel on it, so it's easy to spot! They even have a cutout panel for photos. Since it's newly opened, the interior is simple but very clean. Of course, I had to order the deluxe eel rice bowl (4,180 yen) - just look at how thick and fluffy the eel is! It's incredibly delicious. I also tried the deluxe hitsumabushi (4,400 yen) which allows you to change the flavor with tea at the end - it's amazing. And for a lighter option, I had eel hand-rolled sushi (5 pieces for 1,650 yen) and a beer (550 yen). The cute sushi balls are perfect for snacking with drinks. And it's a nice touch that they include warabi mochi for dessert. The prices start from 2,750 yen for a regular meal, and it's great to enjoy such delicious eel at such reasonable prices. #OsakaGourmet #MorinomiyaGourmet #OsakaCastleGourmet #EelRestaurant #Unagi-dokoroMisami #DeliciousEel #Unagi #EelRiceBowl #EelDonburi #EelSushi #Hitsumabushi #EelInstagram #GrilledEel #EelFlavoring #EelLover #SummerFatigue

Hello. I'm Shunmama. On a weekday night in the second half of August, my husband and I went to an eel restaurant near JR Morinomiya Station or Morinomiya Subway Station. It's called "Unagi-dokoro Umami". My husband had the 2-color deluxe eel set for 4400 yen, and I had the Hitsumabushi deluxe for 4400 yen. We started with some beer. We eagerly awaited the eel to be served. After about 20 minutes, the eel arrived. When I opened the lid of the Hitsumabushi, I saw thick pieces of eel packed inside. I first tasted it as it is, then added some condiments, and finally poured some broth over it. The eel was fluffy and the savory aroma from being grilled with sauce was excellent. The combination with white rice was perfect and we kept eating forever. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I'm not sure if I found out about it on the timeline or if a flyer was delivered to my home, but about one or two weeks after learning that an eel restaurant had opened in Morinomiya, my partner and I decided to visit for the first time. It seems to be a casual restaurant with relatively low pricing, making it more accessible. However, even the standard eel rice bowl is over 4,000 yen, closer to the pricing of a specialty restaurant rather than a beef bowl chain. We both ordered the special eel rice bowl. The portion of eel was quite generous, as shown in the photos. As for the texture of the eel, I expected it to be easily cut with chopsticks, but the surface skin seemed to have some elasticity or hardness, providing a slight resistance. It lacked the tender softness typically found in eel from specialty stores in the Kanto region. Another disappointing point was that there were still noticeable small bones in the eel. While individual preferences may vary, the bones were quite noticeable and somewhat bothersome in their hardness. I have left this critical comment because eel is a favorite of mine, and I believe the preparation of the eel needs improvement, especially in removing the small bones.

I went to the reception of a new eel restaurant that opened in Morinomiya on August 8th! I love eel so much that I think of it as my last supper! But eel is always too expensive for me to indulge in. However, at "Unagi Dokoro Mibimi," you can eat eel starting from 2500 yen, and even the top-quality eel is under 5000 yen, which is great! The top-quality set had a large and thick piece of eel, almost like a whole fish! I tried both the shirayaki (grilled eel) and kabayaki (broiled eel) by ordering the two-color set and the two-color box! The eel was thick and tender, and so delicious! I didn't encounter any small bones either! Maybe because it's farm-raised eel? The eel meat was light and the sauce was also mild, making it easy to eat. The set meal had the same amount of rice as the boxed meal, so I felt satisfied! The eel was warmed up by the young staff rather than grilled by a chef, so it lacked the crispy skin and smoky flavor, but the thick and tender eel itself was delicious, and the price was quite affordable compared to famous eel restaurants! The casual atmosphere in the restaurant makes it a great place to enjoy delicious eel at a reasonable price! They offer a variety of eel dishes like eel box, eel bowl, and eel set meal, which is another great aspect of this place! It seems like they are still learning as a newly opened restaurant, but I believe they will continue to grow, so I support them!

I visited this place that opened on August 8th, just a 2-minute walk from JR & Metro Morinomiya Station. It's a very convenient location facing Chuo Street in the southeast of Osaka Castle Park. When you enter the entrance of Que's Mall BASE, you'll see cute curtains and a sign for eel. Inside, there are counter seats in the center and table seats on the sides. I tried the luxurious "Unaju Special" which had a huge piece of eel covering the rice. It also came with soup, pickles, and warabi mochi. The eel was cooked in a Kanto style, steamed before grilling, making the skin and bones soft and easy to eat. The sauce was slightly sweet. I was told that they use eels raised from Japanese-born fry cultivated overseas, ensuring high-quality eels at a reasonable price. The eel had a fluffy and elastic texture with a satisfying volume. It was so delicious that I want to go back again.

I visited the restaurant for a pre-opening before it officially opens on 8/8. I had the special eel rice bowl which had two thick and juicy eel pieces - truly top quality! The sauce soaked into the rice was delicious, and the pickles on the side were a nice touch. They even included a sweet mochi for dessert, which I appreciated as a fan of sweets. I also tried the grilled eel on rice, and it was packed with eel - so satisfying! The crispy skin and tender eel meat were irresistible. You can also enjoy it by adding condiments and pouring broth over it halfway through. It's located next to Morinomiya Q's Mall and in front of Osaka Castle, so it's a great place to eat after some sightseeing. I even cycled through Osaka Castle on my way back. Definitely recommend trying it out!

Umami Osaka Eel Restaurant Umami, located in Mino no Miya, has opened a new eel restaurant on August 8th! I visited and tried their Hitsumabushi and Unatama (premium eel and egg bowl). The Unatama comes with a thin layer of egg covering the eel, and for the Hitsumabushi, I added a topping of a warm boiled egg. The eel was soft, plump, and delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Delicious unagi (eel) over rice at Umami Unagi in Morinomiya. The thick and crispy unagi with sauce on top is the perfect combination. They offer hearty lunch options like unagi over rice and hitsumabushi. In the evening, you can enjoy dishes like grilled unagi and liver with Japanese sake.

I was able to accompany the reception before the opening on August 8th. I ordered Hitsumabushi special and Temarizushi. Hitsumabushi was shiny and appetizing when I opened the lid. First, I tried it as it was. Then, I poured the broth over it. It was lightly flavored, so if you prefer a lighter taste, you can eat it as it is. If you like a stronger flavor like me, you can add extra sauce to your liking. It was a bit difficult to ask for more sauce, so I was happy when they brought it without me having to ask. The restaurant is located on the way from Morinomiya to Q's Mall, and you can see the eel restaurant popping up. Thank you for the delicious meal!

This time I went out for lunch! I ordered the premium eel rice bowl and grilled eel over rice. The eel was very fluffy and thick, and delicious. The portion was surprisingly large. I think next time the "regular" size will be enough. It is a restaurant close to Morinomiya Station, and I definitely want to go again.

On August 8th, "Unagi-dokoro Umami" will open in Morinomiya. I had the opportunity to attend the reception early. It is conveniently located near Q's Mall and Osaka Castle. This time, I tried the Unagi Tamagoju and Hittsumabushi Tokujou. Both dishes were filled with plenty of eel, and as soon as I opened the lid, I felt happy. The shiny eel was fluffy and fragrant, incredibly delicious. I could easily finish it with the delicious sauce. The Hittsumabushi had additional toppings like condiments and a warm egg, allowing for multiple flavor changes. It was a delightful experience to enjoy delicious eel after a long time. If you ever crave tasty eel, be sure to visit "Unagi-dokoro Umami" in Osaka.

I visited the newly opened eel restaurant "Unagi-dokoro Misakibi" located next to Morinomiya Q's Mall in front of Osaka Castle on 8/8. I tried the eel rice bowl (pictured above) and the eel was thick, juicy, and fluffy, providing a satisfying eating experience. The sweet and savory sauce made the rice even more delicious. Highly recommended! @umami.osaka

Located about a 3-minute walk from Morinomiya Station, this eel restaurant is set to open on August 8th in the Cue's Mall area, right near Osaka Castle Park. The restaurant greeted us with a sign of eel, and the beautiful interior, being a new store, gave off the feeling that it will soon be bustling. This time, we tried the special deluxe eel rice bowl and the special deluxe hitsumabushi. When we lifted the lid, we were met with a powerful eel that was thick and fluffy, with crispy skin that was absolutely delicious. The sauce had a flavor that made the rice even more enjoyable. The hitsumabushi, where you pour broth over the eel, provided a consistently blissful experience until the very end. The warabi mochi at the end was a nice touch. Whether it's after shopping at Cue's Mall or playing in Osaka Castle Park, be sure to visit this restaurant for lunch or dinner.

I visited a restaurant that will have its grand opening on August 8, 2023. It is located on the way from Morinomiya Station to Kyuusumoru. The restaurant has a spacious interior with 6 tables and 14 counter seats. It is a rare opportunity to eat eel in Osaka. The eel dish was impressive with thick, juicy meat and a delicious secret sauce that matched perfectly. The generous portion of rice was also appreciated. The Hitsumabushi dish was packed with eel and was a sight to behold. Adding condiments and pouring the broth made it even more delicious. You can eat as many bowls as you want. The gentle flavor of the broth spreads throughout. It's hard to find eel this delicious in Osaka. Enjoy it in Morinomiya! Thank you for the meal!

I visited during the pre-opening and had the special deluxe eel bowl. They used Japanese eel and cooked it in the Kanto style, making it light and fluffy in texture, which was delicious. The restaurant had both counter and table seating. It's also conveniently close to the train station.

Moderately delicious

Unagi-dokoro Umami @umami.osaka, located near Morinomiya Station, opened on August 8th. Despite being an eel restaurant, it offers eel dishes at affordable prices. I was invited to visit the restaurant and tried the following dishes: - Nishokuju (Special) ¥4,400 - Hitsumabushi (Special) ¥4,400 Hitsumabushi had plenty of finely chopped eel on top of the rice, almost like a whole eel. I first tried it as is, and then poured dashi broth over it to enjoy it as ochazuke. I particularly liked adding wasabi to it. Nishokuju was perfect for someone like me who wants to try both kabayaki and shiroyaki. Each box had 2 pieces of kabayaki and 2 pieces of shiroyaki stacked on top of each other. When you lift it with chopsticks, you can feel the weight of the flavorful eel. The eel was tender and the skin was crispy, with a rich aroma spreading in your mouth. The restaurant carefully selects the best eels available each season and grills them with dedication. The secret sauce for the eel dishes is made using deep-sea water from Kochi Prefecture, which enhances the rich flavor of the eel. The rice is from Hokkaido, specifically Yumepirika, which as a Hokkaido native, I appreciate. The eel dishes were more filling than I expected, and I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and content. I highly recommend splurging on the special dishes for a generous portion of eel. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the lunch-only Unatama-don is priced at ¥1,870. Overall, I had a delightful dining experience at Unagi-dokoro Umami and would definitely visit again.

"Mio Mio Unagi-ya" will open in August 2023 near Morinomiya Osaka Castle! This luxurious and delicious authentic eel rice bowl can be enjoyed at this restaurant. The atmosphere inside is calm, allowing you to relax and enjoy your meal. There are also counter seats where you can watch the skilled craftsmen perform right in front of you. The eel rice bowl (large size) costs 3,520 yen, which is a rare price! The deliciousness will make you forget about the summer heat. Definitely give it a try! Enjoy your meal!
