Unaju-nai (ordinary) 3,000 yen, using meaty eel from Aichi Prefecture, topped with a fluffy golden thread egg 200 yen. A perfect combination with eel sauce.

The current owner, Mr. Takashi Doi, has transformed the 100-year-old river fish wholesale store, which had been operated in the Kyoto Central Market since his grandfather's generation, into a restaurant specializing in eel dishes. The eel has a well-done burnt and crispy skin, and the meat is fluffy and soft as if it melts in your mouth. The characteristic of this dish is its elasticity, and the reasonable price is also a pleasure to enjoy. The sweet and rich secret sauce, which has been passed down since the establishment of the restaurant, enhances the deliciousness of the eel.
