Unazen — Restaurant in Fukuoka

The shop is small but the unagi don is super delicious, maximum amount of fat in the eel but not a bit greasy. Basically as good as it gets.

The old lady, I guess the owner, is super friendly. The other younger lady server was super friendly and energetic too. I wish I knew enough Japanese to understand what they were saying, but from the sound of it, long sentences and all, I can guess they were taking it in a very courteous way.

The shop is small and cozy, and feels very much like a small family run place. The only minor gripe is that I wish they offer their higher tier course meal for single customers.

Overall a fantastic place to enjoy unagi and the experience is better than other more commercial...

This was the beginning of what promises to be a wonderful journey in discovering some of the best unagi. Thank you for the...
