- Store Introduction - [5 minutes walk from Kinkakuji Temple] Enjoy authentic eel cooked crispy and fluffy over charcoal in the store.Doi Katsunagi is a restaurant specializing in eel cuisine where you can enjoy plumply grilled eel in the Kansai style. The owner, who used to be a river fish wholesaler, carefully selects and purchases high-quality, delicious eel, which can be enjoyed at a reasonable price. The eel is skewered freshly prepared in the restaurant and grilled over charcoal until the skin is crisp and the meat is soft and fluffy, making for an exquisite unaju (eel rice bowl). Located near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto, you can enjoy a relaxing meal in a Japanese-style space that captures the atmosphere of Kyoto.
At our restaurant, we keep fresh eels in temperature-controlled tanks and prepare them in the morning. The freshness, plumpness, size, and above all, the taste are different from other restaurants that cannot prepare eels themselves or that purchase pre-prepared eels because they do not have tanks. All of our eels are grilled over charcoal in the Kansai style and are delicious.
Many other restaurants use 200g or 250g of eel, but we purchase 350g. The "Exquisite Whole Eel" is popular because the meat is plump and swelled, and you can enjoy the whole eel. The gorgeous, beautiful appearance of the eel decorated with gold leaf, which is only available at the Kinkakuji store, is also a great way to enjoy the ultimate luxury.
Our restaurant is about a 5-minute walk from Kinkakuji Temple, making it an easy place to stop by for a meal while sightseeing. The interior of the restaurant has a Japanese atmosphere that evokes the essence of Kyoto, with a stylish and modern touch to create a relaxed atmosphere. We have table seating and tatami rooms available, so it's perfect for couples on a date or for a family meal. Children are also welcome, so please feel free to come and visit us.
"Hitsumabushi" is also popular, where you can enjoy the change in taste of carefully grilled crispy and plump eel with condiments and soup stock. You can also choose the amount of eel from regular, high, or special! Please enjoy Hitsumabushi, where you can encounter different flavors in a single dish! We also have other dishes such as liver grill, simmered with Japanese pepper, and eel rolls, which are perfect to enjoy with local Kyoto sake.
