Product Info

ー Restaurant Introduction ー
Located on the south side of Gion Hanamikoji. Enjoy Kansai-style grilled eel prepared by our chefs in a charming space renovated from a traditional inn.

The eel is grilled over charcoal without steaming, resulting in crispy, fragrant skin and plump, tender meat. You can truly savor the natural fat and umami of the eel. Our signature dish is the Unaju, featuring a whole eel served in a bold presentation. You can fully enjoy the unique fragrance and delicious flavor of Kansai-style grilled eel. We offer seating that retains the atmosphere of a traditional townhouse, as well as private rooms. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, please spend a relaxing time with us amidst the atmosphere of Gion.
"Jigiri Unagi" is grilled without steaming, with a crispy exterior and plump white meat that is exquisite. We purchase eels that are in the best condition at the time of the season, regardless of the place of origin. We also use large eels (3.5p), which are 3.5 eels and weigh 1kg. In Japan, eels are usually 4p or 4.5p, so we recommend that you try our proud eels.
