多賀弥 — Restaurant in Shimada

When we go to Japan, we get so excited about all the delicious food we are going to have… Out all the “must eat” list, there was one particular dish that we especially looked forward to having: Grilled Eel from Shizuoka! There is this cute little Japanese restaurant on the top of a hill, seems like in a middle of nowhere, called Tagaya. Even though Tagaya offers other old-fashion or traditional Japanese dishes, they are most famous for their eel.

The inside is no-frill, felt more like visiting an old home of a relative in a country side. Very warm and cozy. Since we had a reservation, the staff took us to our table immediately with a smile.

We had a private room, with an amazing view of the outside. All that we saw in their parking lot, we were able to see them from the room. How awesome is that! I heard that they are super busy during Fireworks event. I am sure the view of fireworks from here would be amazing. It is an old-fashioned tatami floor.

Their grilled eel is popular among the locals as well, and I love those spots that have the local’s votes. We ordered their Unajū. The eel fillets were grilled to perfection, with glossy, shiny, tangy sauce cuddling them. The eel was just amazing… The exterior, especially the skin side had nice crunchy texture, while the inside was soft and juicy. It was almost fluffy! The whole thing was simply divine. Yes it was worth the wait, we were super happy to have the eel from here.

The Unajū comes with soup and side dishes. The soup is a clear liver soup. After they clean the fish, removing all the internal organs, they use them for the soup. Why would they put organs of eel in a soup? Well, because it is very, highly nutritious.

We had a great lunch here, amazing food and magnificent view. The staffs were really nice and warm, and most of all, we had great company. I am sure we will go back to Tagaya the next time we get to go visit Shizuoka. Until then, I will be dreaming about their fluffy eel…!

口コミなので賛否両論ありますが 私好みの店舗でした。 上鰻重を注文、他の方がコメントしている通り「少しお時間かかります。」と前置きあり。 その間絶景の景色を眺めたり、お店の中を眺めたりしてる間にお料理がやってきました。 照りの良い鰻重が〜 味は甘辛で身はフワッとしているのに、皮目はパリッとしていてとても美味しかったです。 このクオリティーでこの値段ならお得すぎると思います。 お店の方はザックバランですが、変に上品ぶらず地元の奥様方という感じで心地良かったです。 駐車場は道沿いにあります。 平日のお昼過ぎにお邪魔したので、お客さんはポツポツでしたが、だからこそ落ち着いた雰囲気の中でゆっくり食事が出来たと思います。 定食もありますので写真で確認して下さい。 島田に来た時はまたお邪魔しま...

先日、日帰りで静岡県に行き、浜名湖方面までは行かなかったので、鰻を食べに多賀弥さんへ、時間がかかると言われたが、余計に期待が・・・ なんと直ぐに期待は打ちひしがれた上うな重を注文したが、身は痩せ、固く、タレは焼鳥のタレ使ってる？っていうくらい甘くてしょっぱくて胸やけする最悪の味、今まで四万十川、箱根、浅草、名古屋と有名店や色々食べてたきたが、これほど家で買ってきて食べた方が旨いじゃんと思ったほど不味かった。金をドブに捨てた気分だった。 これを誉めてた奴の気が知れない。まあ普通の定食は良かった...
