Kyoto, Japan｜Negiya Nyorosuke Pontocho

My girlfriend and I had an incredible meal here!! The Unagi and the sake I paired it with were unimaginably good!!! We had to wait in like for like 35 minutes but the wait was worth it!!! Service was excellent. I do speak some japanese so I had no issues getting our meal served the way we wanted it. ありがとうございます! ごちそうさまでした

Grilled eel rice in a pot! There are ton of restaurants in this street. But we see a small pool that some living eel outside of the restaurant. So we thought let’s try some fresh eel for dinner. Ordered a eel set dinner. It had 6 kind of appetizers. And they all made with eel. All is different way to eat eel. My favourite one is the eel slice mixed in sour sauce. It taste like a fusion dish, like Japanese dish mixed with French dish it really interesting. Also the fried eel bones is so good, especially go with highball together! The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Although she can’t speak fluent English, she still tried her best to explain everything we had and how to eat the food. The grilled eel rice is absolutely stunning! We tried eel rice 3ways. It all have different flavour and delicious. Adding soup in to the rice is the most satisfying way to eat a eel rice! 2 eel set dinner ( changed the grilled eel into eel rice in pot) and 1highball total is 22500yen.

Came here for dinner. It was great. We had the chicken tempura. It was like maybe 7 pieces of fried chicken and basically a side salad. We also had the eel over rice, chicken over rice, and wagyu over rice it was all very good.
