Osaka, Japan｜Sumibiyaki Unagi no Nedoko

Came here twice during my time in Osaka and I can easily say that this is the BEST hitsumabushi and meal that I’ve had in Japan. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every dollar. The eel is grilled to a crisp perfection and still juicy. The dashi broth is flavourful. Come and try for yourself!

While seating was limited, we patiently waited. Good thing we did too, as it was a pleasant delight. We ordered Hitsumabushi sets, which came with a variety of condiments, perfectly fluffy rice, generous portions of unagi, and a sauce that tied all the flavours together in a intricate and homely flavour web. I can’t speak for other Hitsumabushi places, but with my limited experience, I can’t imagine what else might top this. Yummers.

Had to Search for this place as google Maps had me a block away. Signage is minimal it is on the 2nd floor of the Lee building. I ordered 3 skewers, a smoked Eel, and a whole grilled Eel bowl. From the 1st bite to the last everything tasted amazing. Food takes some time as everything is made fresh to order. But it is worth the wait !
