Koren
A popular choice is the Yanagawa loach stew with eel and sticky rice steamed in a bamboo steamer. If you’re not fond of loach, you can also order an extra-large helping of steamed eel instead.
-
Rokkyu
Our original unagimeshi set comes with eel liver soup with pickled vegetables and includes dessert. Charbroiled eel is a traditional flavor of Yanagawa. Enjoy it in an interior that looks like a cafe in a traditional Japanese house.
-
Yoakejaya
Yanagawa is one of the top ports in the Ariake sea, a body of water inhabited by many rare fish. If you want to sample the seasonal bounty of the Ariake sea, we suggest a restaurant run by a popular fish shop that’s been in business since 1890. It’s also the perfect cuisine to pair with sake.
-
Wakamatsuya
Wakamatsuya is a venerable shop established in the late 1850’s that overlooks the downstream punting dock. Its steamed dishes are imbued with a secret sauce that imparts an elegant flavor. Both its uzaku (eel and cucumbers) and eel-liver soup are superb as well.
-
Saraya Fukuryu
Enjoy an original set that pairs steamed delicacies with sweetened boiled mudskipper in a retro-modern interior. On weekdays (Mon - Fri) enjoy free refills on coffee during lunch time. (self-serve)
-
Man-ei do
The chef is adept at French cuisine and has created a masterpiece of steamed eel that is moist yet maintains the crunchy texture distinct to eel. It provides a fresh sensation that goes perfectly with the sticky rice.
-
Hinodeya
The motif of the plating is a river boat which tells stories of Yanagawa! The historic recipe has been passed down for 100 years- the sophisticated sauce and the grill simply enhance the taste of eel. We also pride ourselves with our special chewy rice.
-
Fuki Eel
100% domestic eels carefully grilled with white charcoal. We only serve quality rice that match with eel and the sauce. The umami and sweetness mix well in your mouth.
