Toyota, Aichi, Japan｜川鈴

I stopped by for dinner on my way back from Korankei. The store is a stately building with a sense of history. The interior of the restaurant is spacious, with several tables lined up in a large hall, and the clear view of the Tomoe River flowing right next door can be seen from the seats by the window. I ordered hitsumabushi. My friend had the Nagayaki set meal. Unlike other restaurants, Hitsumabushi doesn't come with any condiments or soup stock, but just thinly sliced ​​eel on top of a bowl of rice. Personally, I like to eat a lot of eel and white rice, so this style is better. The Nagayaki set meal was unusual in that the head was still attached to the grill. The skin of the eel was grilled crispy and the meat was fluffy and chewy. The sauce is neither sweet nor spicy, and has just enough seasoning to not overpower the flavor of the eel, which I also like. Both are heart-wrenching. I feel that the price of around 3,000 yen is a very reasonable price. Unlike the famous stores nearby, it's empty and open at night, so I think I'll use this store from now on. [Revisited on 6/5] This time I ate the upper eel bowl (large serving). There was a piece of eel in the rice, and the sauce was neither sweet nor spicy, just the right amount. The rice was perfectly cooked, and I was able to feel the joy of eating my fill of eel. This is a very good value at 2,800 yen with liver soup. It's not always that crowded, which I appreciate even more, but I wish it was more popular.

It's always delicious. The eel is grilled to a crisp and is delicious with the sauce. The liver soup and pickles are also exquisitely delicious. The scenery is beautiful and the environment is very relaxing. *The photo is of the upper eel bowl (large serving of rice).

Not only is it delicious, but it's also cheaper than other eel restaurants nearby. I rarely see unagidon for less than 2,700 yen or 3,000 yen. Old-fashioned atmosphere and prices. You can look down on the clear stream of Tomoe River over the verandah.
