On a holiday at 1:00 PM! I made a reservation in advance for my visit, which has been quite a while since my last. I ordered a bottle of beer. I ordered the top quality eel rice bowl for 2,900 yen. Yes, the top quality eel rice bowl is 2,900 yen! Depending on the contents, it's quite reasonable! The beer wasn't very cold, and a selection of nuts was served. I asked for eel liver, but was told they didn't have it. After about 30 minutes, the eel rice bowl was served. It came with eel liver soup and pickles. The eel was a large size! It looked crispy on the outside but was tender inside! It had a fragrant aroma and the texture was excellent!! The sauce was tangy with a hint of sweetness. I personally like this tangy flavor for its richness, but my companion seemed a bit hesitant about it. The rice was delicious! I thought the rice layer was thin and might not be enough, but after finishing it, I was full. The eel liver soup had a refreshing and delicious broth! The liver was also firm. Truly a top-notch establishment!! I am very satisfied.

Unamasa @ Fuchu City, Tokyo (Fuchu Honcho) Unagi rare with a spicy and refreshing sauce. The eel is wonderfully grilled. Located in a residential area at the end of a pedestrian street after walking through a shopping street from Fuchu Honcho Station on the JR Nambu Line and Musashino Line. It is one of the five houses in a row, with a noticeable eel flag and two delivery bikes parked in front of the store. The exterior decorated with bamboo, aged wooden sign, and noren curtain gives a nice feel. The interior has the atmosphere of a Showa era izakaya. There are two tables and a clean private room for four people in the back. The kitchen, which occupies half of the store, is old-fashioned and truly Showa era. I was impressed by how clean it was despite its old appearance. Today, with the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases and preventive measures in place, I was lucky that a private room was available. The eel rice bowl comes in three sizes: 2,300, 2,700, and 2,900 yen. Cheap! There are also set meals of kabayaki, okonomi, tempura, tenju, tori ju, tempura, and yakimono. I had the following: ■ Eel Rice Bowl Special 2,900 After waiting exactly 30 minutes, the fragrant aroma gradually wafts in, making me eager to eat. The eel, crispy on the outside and tender inside, is delicious. The sauce is rare with very little sweetness, making it refreshing and light. I feel like it's better without sansho pepper. Thanks to this, there is no sticky feeling in the mouth after eating the eel. I think this sauce can become addictive. The elderly couple who run the place provide friendly and courteous service, which I appreciate.

It's been a while since I had Unagi-sama. The eel was plump and tender. Divided opinions? Sushi rice. First time trying sushi rice? I thoroughly enjoyed the eel.

I had the special, large portion! It was cooked perfectly! The taste is delicious! I just prefer a stronger sauce! If it had a little more sauce, my rating would be higher!

Takeout! The premium quality for 2700 yen is very satisfying! They are working hard to keep the prices from going up too much.

Discovered this small restaurant on Tabelog and decided to visit. It's a little bit away from the station and seems to mainly focus on takeout, given its small seating capacity of 2-3. They offer three options for eel rice bowls: pine (2100 yen), chrysanthemum (2500 yen), and top grade (2700 yen). There are also other menu items like tempura available. This time, I ordered the top grade eel rice bowl. The size of the bowl is standard, maybe slightly on the smaller side, but it was packed with eel lined up in two rows, covering the rice completely. It's been a while since I've had this feeling. The eel is thick and well grilled with a rich color. This is just the way I like it. The sauce is sweet and spicy, leaning more towards the spicy side. The eel is tender, although not exactly melt-in-your-mouth, but the charred surface complements it well. While the rice portion seemed a bit small, the abundance of eel made up for it, leaving me quite satisfied. It's a great deal for the price. This was a solid eel rice bowl. The restaurant is inconspicuous and has a local vibe, but finding this hidden gem was a pleasant surprise. It must be tough to maintain this quality at such a price point, but I hope they continue to thrive. I enjoyed the meal. Thank you.

On the west side of Fuchu-Honmachi Station, past the Honmachi Plaza shopping district, there is an eel restaurant along the Shibama Street. In front of the shop, there were two delivery bikes parked. Prices for "unagi-don" were written on wooden signs. Unagi-don (half): 1,300 yen Unagi-don (pine): 1,900 yen Unagi-don (chrysanthemum): 2,300 yen Unagi-don (special): 2,500 yen Despite the eel price surge nowadays, the prices were reasonable. Feeling determined, I walked through the curtain with "Tempura" and "Unagi" written on it. Inside the shop, there were only three 4-person tables. One table at the back had some items placed on it. There were two customers already, enjoying their meal sets facing each other. It seemed they were not having eel or tempura. The menu on the wall listed items like "edamame," "board wasabi," "mozuku," "thick tofu stew," "shiitake stew," all priced at 200 yen each! "Hakutsuru" was 300 yen. "Shochu of various kinds" was 300 yen. It felt like a "izakaya" style place. I hesitated for a moment, then decided to go for the "Tempura and Rice Bowl (pine)." When I ordered, I was asked, "Pine, is that okay?" The customer who came before turned to look at me. Did I make a mistake? The sound of tempura frying could be heard from the kitchen, along with a delightful aroma. After a 13-minute wait, the Tempura and Rice Bowl (pine) arrived! When I opened the lid of the bento box, a nice aroma wafted out. The dark sauce had soaked into the tempura nicely. The sweet sauce was rich and delicious! The sauce at an eel restaurant is really tasty. There were many high-quality bento boxes stacked on the kitchen shelf. They probably do a lot of catering. And that's how I conquered all the eel and loach restaurants in Fuchu!

The sauce had a sour taste, not sweet, which was a new sensation. The premium dish was only 2900 yen, which is quite cheap! However, I personally didn't like the sourness, so I probably won't go back. The restaurant seemed to be loved by locals. They also have a variety of affordable side dishes. Thank you for the meal!

I had una-don (eel rice bowl). Eel itself is not cheap, so I had some expectations, but it didn't really suit my taste. There were some bones and skin left, the sauce was average, and the rice was like what you would get at a regular diner. Of course, the eel was plump and tastier compared to supermarket eel, so the cost performance may not be bad. But since I bought it at a restaurant, I was hoping for a more special feeling una-don.
