Himeji, Hyogo, Japan｜Yamayoshi

Really nice Eel Rice bowl, must try 👌

We just had the last 5 of 8 eel rice bowl before the restaurant closed. Will never regret waiting in line for the eel rice. The eel is freshly grilled and tasty amazing. One demerit of this restaurant is that the space is too tight and you will feel so crowded and kinda hot when enjoying the eel rice.

There was a short queue but the waiting time was under 30mins during lunch time which is short enough by Japanese standard for good food. You can also see the chef cook unagi in front of you through the window so it definitely made the time go by quicker. The restaurant is small but comfortable. Personally, i think it adds to the charm. The food came quite fast once you're sitting down and the customer service was great. The unagi broth is one of the best i've tasted. While the unagi is on the mild side because of the lack of sauce placed compared to other restaurants, it somehow manages to bring out the unagi flavour even more. I can see why it's such a popular place. The overall experience was tremendously enjoyable and if i ever visit Himeji again, i would stop by for sure.
