Katori, Chiba, Japan｜Yamada Unagi Restaurant Annex

Good

I've only been there once, but it's definitely a restaurant I'd like to visit again. I'm a fairly generous person, so it's normal for me to eat a large portion at any restaurant, but when I ordered a large portion here, as you can see in the photo, I had so much rice that I couldn't close the lid, and I remember being quite full. . It's an eel restaurant that has good taste and quantity, and although it's a bit pricey, it's worth eating. Second visit today. I wonder what it's like at night? So, this time I decided to visit the store at night. I went there about 15 minutes early as the evening started at 17:00, but unexpectedly there were only a few cars parked there, and when I went to the store entrance 5 minutes early, I saw everyone coming out of their cars. In the blink of an eye, there was no place to sit! Before I entered the store, I heard that there was a numbered ticket, but I didn't have one, so I asked them when I entered the store and thought that even if those with a numbered ticket had priority, they would be able to get in at the end, and then I realized that I had a numbered ticket. There were about 3 groups of people, and after that we were able to get in easily. but! As you can see in the photo, at 17:05 there is a sign saying that reception ends today! It seems like I just happened to get in today. They say that if there are too many people with tickets, they won't let you in, so at around 5:30 pm there was a person with a Tokyo license plate without a ticket, but he was told that the event was closing for the day and left without any notice. It's been a while since I've been here, and they've changed to a numbered ticket system, but luckily the food was delicious. It was really delicious!

I heard that it is famous in the Kanto region and the taste is delicious, so I went there. It's not a place where you can get lost, but it's in a place that you can easily find because it faces the main road. The exterior of the restaurant doesn't have a high-class feel to it, and if anything, I felt like they were competing on taste rather than appearance. The price was reasonable, the eel was perfectly charcoal-grilled and fragrant, and the rice was plentiful, so it was as delicious as rumored. The sauce seemed to be homemade and had a sweet taste that matched well with the rice. It seems to be popular in the local area, with number tags being handed out from 4 p.m. and a board saying the event ends at 6 p.m.
