Osaka, Japan｜Unatoto Honmachi

I stumbled on this place on the way back to my hotel. They were just about to close, and I had a less than stellar dinner. This is a very local restaurant, buried in the suburb in Hommachi about 5 minutes walk away from the big shopping district. I’m fairly certain only locals come here, given how difficult it was to find. They take a variety of payments and the menu has pictures so it’s pretty easy to order. I ordered takeaway unagi on rice. There were 5 size options and I chose the second smallest. They freshly charred it for me and then packaged it in an adorable faux-lacquer takeout tray. Considering how much unagi normally costs, this is fantastic, well-priced and delicious.

Delicious as always. Didn’t have to wait in line this time.

Nice service. Good taste.
