Sōka, Saitama, Japan｜藤白家

▼If you want eel in Soka City, Fujishiroya is definitely the place to go. I've been coming here for over 40 years, even before it became the fine restaurant it is today, and I think it's quite difficult to find anything better than the eel here, even in Tokyo. ▼From the entrance along Nikko Kaido, there are tables and a small raised area where you can enjoy a menu centered on eel. ▼In addition to eel jus, sashimi, tempura, and even chawanmushi are also delicious. There is also a gozen menu. However, Shirayaki is not on the menu (but they will serve it if you ask). ▼There is an entrance to the floor for banquets and dinners in a slightly recessed area away from the street. This is a convenient place not only for large parties, but also for engagement ceremonies, memorial services, and family gatherings. ▼Una Shigematsu 3400 yen The eel is plump and steamed Kanto style. The fluffy and sticky flesh is very delicious. The sauce has a sharp taste rather than sweetness, and goes perfectly with the hard-cooked rice. Comes with liver soup and pickled vegetables. It has all the elements you want from an eel, to the point that there is nothing better than this. It's delicious.

I went at the recommendation of a friend. It was so delicious! Chawanmushi and tempura were delicious. The price was also very reasonable for me, who usually eats eel in Tokyo. Thank you for the delicious time!

I had the eel. It seems like it used to be a restaurant in the past, but I heard that they now mainly serve eel. It's a Kanto-style steamed eel style, so the fluffy texture was refreshing if you're used to eating Kansai-style.
