This is my second visit. This year, I decided to go to Unagi Uomasa for the Doyo no Ushi (Day of the Ox).Three years ago, I had their natural eel. Two years ago, I tried a highly-rated budget eel restaurant in my area, and last year, I went to a famous high-end eel restaurant in Tokyo. This year, I’m having Bando Taro at Unagi Uomasa, and I chose the largest size.The budget eel restaurant I visited two years ago would get a one-star rating on Tabelog…^^; so I didn’t leave a review. Last year’s famous old restaurant in Tokyo required a two-hour wait without a reservation, which my husband kindly endured. I had high expectations, but it ended up being disappointing. On our way back, my husband and I decided to go to Unagi Uomasa next year.And now, that day has come.I made a reservation a month in advance, but surprisingly, it seemed easy to get a reservation even closer to the date.When I visited Unagi Uomasa three years ago, it was my first date with my husband before we started dating, so we both felt a sense of freshness.We were guided to the table at the very back.I ordered Oolong tea.The first dish that arrived was eel bones and liver.The eel bones are quite hard, but the flavor is outstanding.Then, after 40 minutes, the eel arrived.When I opened the lid, a fragrant aroma wafted out.Ah, the smell is already different from other eel restaurants.First, I tried the eel on its own.Hmm, words are unnecessary.The fluffy, thick eel with a perfectly grilled texture and seasoning that complements the rice is just perfect.The natural eel was delicious, but Bando Taro is also of a very high level. It’s top quality.I enjoyed it with rice. Pure bliss...I tried adding some sansho (Japanese pepper). Perfect.The bones didn’t bother me at all. They were soft.Last year, at the famous high-end restaurant, the bones were really bothersome. ^^;I savored each bite.The liver soup was also delicious.It’s been a while since I’ve been to a five-star restaurant.When it’s a five-star class, I can’t find anything to complain about.The total for two was about JPY 26,000.It’s expensive. At this price, it’s only natural that it’s delicious.My expectations were high.Last year, at the famous high-end eel restaurant, I had nothing but complaints.At Unagi Uomasa, I left with a smile.Please let me know if there’s an eel restaurant that surpasses this one.It was a great meal.
