Located on the approach to Fukagawa Shrine in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, this renowned eel restaurant is a must-visit for eel lovers and food enthusiasts alike. Currently, only regular customers from the past can make reservations or visit, so we kindly ask others to refrain from calling or coming by.With a history so old that the exact founding year and the origin of its name are unclear, the restaurant is now run by the fourth generation of owners. The exquisite eels are prepared using traditional techniques passed down from the previous generation. The domestic live eels are filleted fresh upon ordering and grilled over powerful charcoal, resulting in a dish that stands apart from the typical Kansai-style, which is known for its crispy and fluffy texture. The meticulous yet bold craftsmanship involved in shaping the eels by hand in the scorching grill area has transcended existing methods, earning the name "Tashiro-yaki." The exterior is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is thick, juicy, and has a delightful bounce.As photography is discouraged in the restaurant, the image shared is of the eel I enjoyed at home after taking it away. Recently, it has also been offered through Seto City's hometown tax program. This historic establishment has long been cherished by local artisans and the community, situated on the approach to Fukagawa Shrine in a city known for its pottery. I sincerely hope that the staff remains healthy and that this beloved restaurant continues to thrive for many years to come.
