Yamagata, Nagano, Japan｜うなぎの本間 アイシティ２１店

[Things you want to eat/recommended] ・Unaju 2 sheets 3456 yen ・ Unaju 3 sheets 4806 yen This is an eel restaurant in Eye City in Yamagata Village. Located near the liquor store on the first floor, it is a small place with only 5 or 6 seats at the counter. There is a shop next door, and eel, liver, boiled carp, etc. are lined up for takeout. It is also in the Inoue department store in front of Matsumoto station, and it seems that the number of seats has increased due to recent renovations. It's rare to come across such delicious eel. The eel here is steamed and grilled, so it is very soft and fragrant. Grilled eel is fragrant, but on the other hand, it seems that it can become hard, so it is recommended for the elderly. The quality of the eel is undeniably good, so it's so juicy and chewy that you'll forget you're eating seafood. For eat-in, you can choose one or two pieces of eel, and it comes with liver soup and pickles. It seems that you can increase the amount of rice if you wish. Unaju can be taken home, so it is also used as a consumable item. I have visited famous restaurants not only in Matsumoto City, but also in the Chushin area, and I am confident that they are on par with the wonderful restaurants in Shizuoka, Nagoya, and Kyushu, and I recommend Matsumoto citizens' pride in their Unaju. . 〈Revisit〉 Since it is a luxury item, I can only visit once in February, but I receive it regularly. Even though it's on the outskirts of the department store, the counter is separated from the aisle by one door, so it doesn't have a slow atmosphere, so it feels like you're eating really quickly. Since it is a luxury item, I often put it in relatively easily even on holidays other than the Midsummer Day of the Ox. No matter when you ask, the quality of the eel and the way it is grilled are both wonderful. The thickness and size are quite large as a weight, and it is more than enough for two pieces. The taste of the sauce is not as sweet and salty as usual, but the quality of the eel is juicy enough to make it sticky. Above all, I like the very soft finish when steamed. I personally think that eels that are grilled or seasoned with a strong sauce become hard and fishy and hide the flavor of the eels. On the other hand, the eel served at this restaurant is not only fragrant, but also plump and soft, and you can't really think of it as a fish. I also think that if it were opened as a normal store instead of a corner of a department store, it would be a store that would attract a lot of attention. As an eel lover like me, thanks to this local restaurant, I don't have to go to famous eel restaurants in Tokyo or Kyushu.

It was delicious😍 Sweet sauce, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Kansai style delicious eel. Thank you for the meal 😋

It's a small shop with only 5 seats at the corner of the floor that sells fresh food and souvenirs. The menu consists only of the special Unaju. You can choose one, two, or three pieces of eel. If you order three pieces, one piece will be sandwiched in the rice, so it's enough to eat. The most important thing is the eel, which has a crispy surface and a soft, fluffy meat. The only disappointment was that the Japanese pepper on the table had little taste. . . I used it for lunch this time. Please note that it is a complete reservation system at night!
