Hitsumabushi Nagoya Bincho Grando Front Osaka — Restaurant in Osaka

The menu doesn't offer much variety, focusing primarily on eel rice variations. We ordered one full portion and another smaller portion. The eel was flavorful, but be aware that there were numerous tiny bones, which might be an issue for some. We were fine with it, but it’s something to consider if you’re not a fan of...
