Kyoto, Japan｜Maehara

Amazing lunch spot. Kind staff and they provided us with an English menu! The cushioned seats are so comfy. Ee ordered an eel omlette to share. As well as two orders of the half eel for lunch. It was so good we would definitely come back for a full eel or a 1.5 eel! The eel melts in our mouth, the sansho pepper was so fragrant it goes so perfectly with the eel. We also got to watch the chef prepare some eel skewers right in front of us. Everything was amazing. The price for the quality was super worth it.

This is the best eel cuisine course I have ever had!!! The taste of everything is very delicate, from the starter to dessert! The food looks simple, no dramatic plating, but the flavor really surprised me. The location is also very convenient, only 5 minutes walking from the subway. By the way, the slippers in the rest room are geta (Japanese clogs), cool!

Went there for dinner and enjoyed every bite. The eel was amazingly grilled and seasoned. Will definitely be back. The service as good as you can imagine. We were offered a private room but we switched for the counter. We could see the cooking process from there. Price is pretty high but high quality eel cost a lot. My partner is a big fan of tin skinned eel. I myself live thicker skin. But just a matter of taste.
