I really like eating eel rice. The eel is cooked to order. The eel is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely a first-class experience. Although the price is not cheap, it is definitely a delicacy worth trying.
You can order eel rice a la carte, which is divided into four types: large, medium, small and children, or you can order a set meal (there are three types of set meals, A, B and C, depending on the amount of food). It has a strong flavor, moderate saltiness, and is a great match for rice. I queued for three hours and finished it in less than a quarter of an hour.
Eel rice set meal + Japanese cuisine, the tray is filled with all kinds of exquisite small plates, bowls and cups, the variety is spectacular, chawanmushi, miso soup, tempura, and various small pickles, there are many kinds, the portion is not very large, and the price is moderate. Highly recommended!
The service is very friendly. It is opened by Taiwanese. The first eel rice in Kyoto is overrated. The price is expensive. The rolled egg in the set meal tastes okay. The grilled eel is salty and burnt. It is worth a try if you pass by. I came here specially to eat. I was a little disappointed. The set meal price of 3400 is extremely inconsistent with the recommended per capita price of 89
I took the legendary Shinkansen and struggled to get from Tokyo to Kyoto. Traveling without knowing Japanese or English depends on luck. Of all the Japanese food, my favorite is eel rice. The eel here is big and has a strong flavor. Eating it with side dishes soothes my wounded heart.
When we got to the inner courtyard entrance, we roughly counted and found that there were about 20 people lining up from the inner courtyard entrance to the actual store entrance, about ten groups of people. I don't know if it was because we were hungry or it was really delicious, but even my wife, who usually doesn't like eel rice, said it was delicious this time and that it didn't have any fishy smell at all.
The eel rice was great, and the tea-boiled egg had so much stuff in it, it was amazing. And this shop looks like a family business, there is a very pretty girl...
