Unbeatable Unadon in Hita - A Must-Try Culinary Delight!

As a self-proclaimed eel enthusiast, I can say with confidence that Hita City is the ultimate destination for eel rice lovers. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this "Eel Capital of Kyushu" and was blown away by the exceptional quality and flavor of the local eel dishes.

I tried eel rice at a few highly recommended spots, and each one exceeded my expectations. The eel was grilled to perfection, retaining a wonderfully tender and juicy texture, perfectly complemented by the restaurant's signature sauces. The ambiance of the traditional Japanese establishments added to the overall experience, making it feel like a truly authentic and immersive meal.

What impressed me the most was the remarkable value. Despite the high-quality ingredients and artisanal preparation, the prices were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the level of craftsmanship involved.

If you're a fan of eel, or simply seeking a unique and delectable dining experience, I cannot recommend Hita City's eel rice enough. It's a culinary gem that deserves to be on every foodie's radar. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip to this eel-centric wonderland - your taste buds...

This is super good!! Highly recommended if you visit Hita.

Ordered the Unagi bowl - The dish come with sauce, eel liver soup, ochazuke soup, and several condiments (scallions/wasabi/yuzu kosho/daikon) and it all goes together well.

The ochazuke style was really good too. The flavor is very balance and clean. This is the best ochazuke style I have tried.

The place is super popular so you would need to come and register for a queue first. (I came at 10.30 and get into the restaurant from when it opened)

The dish was 3800 yen in total. I'm very...

I don't know if they were having an off day but the eel I had was dry.

I know it's a pun from hitsumabushi, but if you ever had hitsumabushi at Nagoya's famous two brands, this pales greatly in comparison. The one in Nagoya has eel grilling specialists that does the grilling the kansai way which requires a lot of skill since they do not steam it like the Kanto style, yet the resulting eel is crisp on the outside but moist on the inside.

The condiments are different which is fine. The yuzu kosho is nice but ultimately, the star of the dish...
