Naruse's Unagi Eel Restaurant Sakaisuji-Hommachi — Restaurant in Osaka

We wanted to eat unagi for dinner and happened to see this on google map which was a subway stop from shinsabashi where our hotel was. We decided to check that place out since we got a 1 day metro pass. It was located within the subway station and easy to find. The shop can sit less than 20 people and manned by a couple. The lady boss was very friendly and taught us how to savour the eel with the wasabi, pickles and ginger. The eel was tasty enough and you don’t have to really pour the thick sauce on it (for people who prefer less salty). We ordered 4 small and 1 large for 5 adults. The ambience was pleasant and cosy. It was a good portion which filled your stomach. The price was reasonable. Definitely...

Unfortunately for us, it was a disappointing experience. We went on a Saturday evening. There was no other customer. The unagi looked like it was reheated and tasted slightly warm, dry in texture and burnt at certain portion. The rice was hard to bite like it was not well cooked. Regardless, we hope others will have a much better...

The grilled eel was great. Juicy, flavorful. Price was good. I only got the eel for a snack and was surprised. For the price worth it and almost worth traveling to get it. Sake was just whatever but the eel and the stuff it comes with was great. English and multiple other language menus. Easy to figure out...
