Mingei Chaya Rokkyu — Restaurant in Yanagawa

I had an amazing Yanagawa-style unagi here and it was absolutely delicious. The dish was cooked perfectly, full of rich flavor, and felt truly authentic. The restaurant itself has an old, vintage charm that adds to the experience, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a piece of history. The staff were very nice and hospitable, making sure everything was just right. It’s a place that combines great food with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone...

Steamed eel with a touch of egg is the classic to have in Yanagawa and Mingeichayarokki did not disappoint. It's one of the quaint little restaurants that you hope you find when you go to a new town.
