A renowned eel restaurant located near the Hakone Entrance IC on the Odawara-Atsugi Road, just a short distance from Hakone Yumoto.I called the restaurant two days prior to reserve a single serving. The liver was on a waitlist.I arrived just before 3 PM after finishing golf.Unaju (grilled eel over rice) - JPY 8,000Freshly prepared liver (with sauce) - availableFirst, I was overwhelmed by the size of the eel, but once I tasted it, the flesh was fluffy and tender, with an excellent amount of fat. Despite its richness, it wasn't heavy at all, and the balance of sweetness and spiciness in the sauce was exquisite, creating a perfect harmony with the rice.The surface was crispy, while the inside had a melt-in-your-mouth texture. It genuinely made me think, "Eel can be this delicious!" The freshly prepared liver paired with the sauce and egg yolk was simply perfect.This is a place I would love to visit again when I come to the Hakone area.
