嘉門（かもん） — Restaurant in Gujo

What an AMAZING restaurant serving the best eel. It is better than I ever imagined. Usually eel has a bit of a dirty aftertaste, but this eel was so clean, fresh, cooked perfectly so it is juicy and moist. The skin is perfectly grilled so it is crispy and adds just a hint of bbq flavour.

The red and white eel are both delicious, yet distinct. The white is more delicate, offering an unadulterated flavour of the true eel, heightened by the grilled crispy skin and light sauce it is served with. An optional dash of lemon elicits the fresh flavour, like an alpine stream in springtime. The red had the traditional sweet sauce on top, but it is not overpowering. Instead it complements and enhances the eels natural sweetness.

You will not regret eating here, you will never find a better meal. My only regret is not coming twice. I will dream of that eel...

Amazing amazing unagi! Long story short, we almost went back a second time in our short stay in Gujo. We were gonna Google translate the menu, but a lady who’s bilingual in Japanese and Mandarin patiently explained the menu to us. It was a charming property to have such amazing food in. The fish was so perfectly done, you can smell the charcoal, the skin was crispy and you can taste the freshness and fattiness of the fish, especially from the “salted grill (white)” style. I’m salivating as I’m thinking and writing...

We are from Thailand. Mr. Kamon, the owner welcomed and took good care of us. The restaurant is very well decorated, in a nice location.

His unagi was very well grilled, crispy skin with tender unagi. Very well rice and tasty sauce. This is the best unagi rice blow...
