What travelers say:
I marked it for a long time and finally ate it! The eel has an inexplicable richness, very fragrant, but not loose. And the rice is shiny. I thought it would be soft because of too much water, but it is not at all, it is grain by grain. And the old lady in the store is very nice and gentle.

I'm so happy to find such a good store near my home. At present, I have discovered my favorite eel rice, Sapporo miso ramen, Osaka's best aged Wagyu beef, Okinawa-style izakaya, Fukuoka beef intestine hotpot (もつnabe), a long-established udon shop, thick tsukemen, and India. Cuisine. Next, if I can find some delicious fried pork cutlets, sukiyaki, oden, yakiniku restaurants, Thai food, Japanese watercress... that would be perfect.
In the planetarium, it's an old shop with a big entrance. I walked in and found that there are two floors. There are still seats after 6pm, but you have to sit on the tatami mat. The menu is simple, the main feature is eel. There are two types of eel rice, one is a bowl called Unagi Don, and the other is eel and rice separated called Unagi-ju. I ordered the bamboo version of each, the pine, bamboo, and plum version. The difference is the number of eel pieces, the bamboo version has 3 pieces. When it was served, I wanted to eat it. The eel was very big and shiny, and the charcoal grilled sauce was particularly fragrant. I personally recommend choosing the version where the fish and rice are separated. The taste here is generally salty, so it's easier to control the ratio of the sauce when they are separated. At this time, you will feel that there is too little rice, and you can eat another bowl with the sauce. I also ordered a portion of eel liver, which tastes just average. In total, a portion of rice costs 120 yuan, which is about the same as in China, but the quantity and taste are much better.
Delicious eel, regret that each person only ordered the "bamboo" set, which only had three pieces of eel, should have ordered the "pine" set, which had four pieces of eel. Eel has several flavors, and for me, the main flavor is the grilled fish sauce. The lighter and lighter flavors are all delicious!
Highly recommended, not too expensive, the eel is very tasty, the eel sauce is delicious
