Gifu, Japan｜川勢

This place was packed with locals and there was a short wait for a table. (I did not make a reservation) I ordered the Hitsumabushi for 2000¥. The staff was very friendly. The meal was very tasty and I left very satisfied. This was my first time eating Hitsumabushi and I recommend this little shop to anyone with a little bit of Japanese under their belt. I walked here through the residencal area from the main station but there is a bus stop not far from here.

One of the best unagi we ever had, with a unique grill aroma. This is off the beaten track for tourists, though the locals know their way. If you want to try, you better come by 1015 if not latest 1030. By then you register and get ready to go in at 1050. They have a variety of unagi bowls, with different grade and style. Price is very reasonable - around 2000-3000 yen or so per person. Highly recommend!

Great value, delicious and large portions.
