This is a restaurant located in Nakasu, Hakata Ward called "Unagi no Eight". At night, they operate as a Japanese cuisine restaurant called "Ajimi". Starting from August 1st, a new brand called "Unagi no Eight" opened for lunch! Today, I had the following dishes: - Seiromushi Gozen for 3500 yen - Unagi and Beef Ishiyaki Gozen for 3500 yen It was my second time having eel here. The Seiromushi was delicious with fluffy eel and a tasty sauce. The broth at the end was also very good. The Ishiyaki dish had cheese which you could melt with fire, it looked tasty too. I might try that next time. I think I'm becoming a fan of eel now. Thank you for the meal! 🍴

I found out on Instagram that the long-established traditional Japanese restaurant "Ajimi," which has also earned one Michelin star, has started an "eel" restaurant for lunchtime only from August 1st. I made a reservation by phone the day before, and the staff's response was very pleasant. ^^* It seems that this will not be a limited-time offer, but will continue in the future. This area is known for its nightlife, so it's a completely different impression during the day. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, with counter seats being the main option, but I also saw private rooms. I received a mini-sized beer as a gift for registering on LINE. Since I had finished work in the morning before visiting, I enjoyed it without any worries. This amount of alcohol will disappear with a little sweat. (laughs) The lunch menu offers two options: "Seiromabushi set meal" and "Eel and Wagyu beef stone-grilled set meal," both priced at 3,500 yen including tax. Credit cards are accepted. Additional toppings are available for an extra charge. I was torn between the two options, but I chose the unusual "Eel and Wagyu beef stone-grilled set meal" as you can have "Seiromushi" elsewhere. The amount of eel is said to be larger in the "Seiromushi" set. The small appetizer was a nice break with boiled vegetables. There was also spicy miso (with mild spiciness) and pickles. The highlight was the appearance of the eel and Wagyu beef stone-grilled dish! It was showtime from there. First, I sprinkled plenty of cheese on top... As a cheese lover, I was thrilled.♪ Next, it was flambéed... with fire. As someone who loves things that look good, I was happy with the presentation. ^^ Finally, it was done! It looked delicious. ^^ The rice had a slightly sweet sauce mixed in, which tasted good. It was a bit too much for me, but it might be just the right amount for others. The eel was of normal thickness, but it was steamed, making it soft and tender, which I liked. The thick omelet was fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth soft. It was delicious. The meat was Wagyu beef, and the slightly sweet seasoning suited this dish well. Since it was cooked in a stone pot, you could get your preferred level of char. ^^* The broth served with it was also tasty. I would be happy if they could include a small amount of condiments like green onions or seaweed. The pudding was creamy. I also liked the design on the teacup, featuring "Birds and Animals in the Flower Garden." This was my first time having eel prepared in this way, and I enjoyed it until the end with the delicious ochazuke. I ate until I was full and skipped dinner that day. (^◇^;) The staff I spoke to on the phone, as well as the other staff, were all very pleasant, making it a great lunchtime experience.

It was a great day, so I was introduced to a new restaurant and decided to go. I ordered the Eel and Beef Stone Grilled Set for 3,500 yen. It was a new specialty dish and the burnt rice was cooked perfectly with lots of cheese on top. The area around Nakasu has many famous eel restaurants, and recently the ones along the river have been crowded as well. This place could be a good choice for a celebratory lunch in Nakasu. It is located along the river.

I visited "Unagi no Eight," which will open on 8/1, a bit early! It is a lunch business by Kappo Miboshi and the name "Eight" comes from the son's name. They offer two types of set meals: "Seiro Mabushi Gozen" and "Unagi and Beef Ishiyaki Gozen." I tried both of them. The Seiro Mabushi Gozen was so fluffy and delicious, with a sweet soy sauce from Kyushu. You can enjoy it twice by eating it as is and then pouring the broth and adding wasabi. The Unagi and Beef Ishiyaki Gozen is a luxurious menu where you can enjoy both eel and beef. They sprinkle cheese in front of you and you can enjoy it Bibimbap style with chili paste. Personally, I recommend the Seiro Mabushi Gozen. Both sets come with homemade pudding with a piece of warabi mochi on top, which was incredibly rich and delicious. The chef and staff were friendly and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The eel was fluffy and delicious.
