Hiroshima, Japan｜Unagi Kawasei

Went for lunch. Small restaurant but they accommodated me despite me being a little behind the lunch hour. Service and food was terrific, you could watch the chef painstakingly grill the unagi in clear view. After finishing the preparation, the chef went to go buy rice since they seemed to have run out after serving me. Unagi (especially of the Edo-mae variety) may not be a specialty of Hiroshima but you can get good quality Unagi here without having to pay ten thousand yen and waiting two hours in line like you might elsewhere. Reasonable walk from the station.

I got the extra large eel. After being steamed in Kanto style, it was grilled over charcoal to make it plump and juicy, and the meat was not too sticky and had a deep flavor! I highly recommend it.

Used it for the first time on our anniversary. The eel was plump and had a refined taste. I also had Kimosu and liver skewers. It's worth the price alone. It's not a store you can casually drop by, so I would like to use it again on a special day.
