I suddenly felt like eating eel, so I visited this place. It's a bit of a walk from Goryokaku Koen Station. The restaurant used to be a tempura place, and they still have tempura on the menu. I would be happy if they serve grilled eel liver. While waiting for my eel rice bowl, I enjoyed grilled eel liver sprinkled with sansho pepper and a beer, which got me excited! The eel rice bowl comes with extra sauce, but I preferred to eat it without it.

Today it rained all day, so I just ate! Haha~ I love eel, so no matter where I go, I always have to have eel! That's why I went to a famous eel restaurant in Hakodate. I ordered the eel rice bowl with less rice. The outside was crispy, but the meat itself was not too fatty. The flavor was also on the lighter side. It was just delicious.

I went to Takahashi in Hakodate City for the first time in a while. The last time I had eel was at a different restaurant, so it's been a while since I visited Takahashi. Originally a tempura restaurant, I haven't tried their tempura yet. I had the eel on rice bowl this time. The eel was fatty and a bit larger, very delicious! However, the rice was somewhat dry. Hmm, I wonder if the chef has changed? The eel liver was tasty. Well, I'll look forward to the next visit for the taste...

The atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff's service were good. I tried the eel rice bowl, but compared to the authentic Nagoya-style restaurant Horaiken, it was lacking. The portion size was small for the price, and the grilled eel lacked a crispy texture. The eel itself was also lacking in firmness.

I visited after a long time to have some eel. Arrived a little before 12 pm, and there was a sign saying it was full with reservations. Luckily, I had reserved a seat just in case. The seating was in a raised area with low chairs, making it comfortable for those with knee or back issues. I decided to go with the eel rice bowl. There were options for regular, premium, and extra premium. I wanted to go for extra premium, but settled for premium this time. My wife got the set with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). It had been a while since I had eel, and the taste was just as good as I remembered. Eating eel is a great way to combat the heat of this hot summer. I wish I could eat eel all year round.

When it comes to eel restaurants in Hakodate, this place stands out. The eel rice bowl costs 3600 yen. You can add sauce for an extra charge. The eel itself was delicious, and the seasoning was better than what you would find elsewhere. They also serve tempura, so if I visit again, I would like to try their tempura rice bowl.

Since ancient times, when it comes to eel at home, we always think of Koi no Sukesan, so this place was a new experience for us. Originally, I think it was a tempura restaurant with a sign from Takahashi, but I only eat tempura at Tazawa, so I completely overlooked it. Overall, I was satisfied with the eel, but there was just too much rice in the bowl, so I left a lot behind. The tempura was decent for the price! Thank you for the meal.

It was a little after 11:30 on Sunday when I entered the restaurant, and there was only one other group of customers. The sunken kotatsu table here is a bit deeper. The eel set meal, eel bowl, and eel box all come with liver soup, so if you're not a fan of liver, it's best to ask for a substitution. I personally enjoy liver, so I ordered the Plum and Eel set meal (3,560 yen) with an extra grilled eel liver (440 yen). Since it takes a bit of time for the food to arrive, I ordered a draft beer. The liver soup was delicious with a flavorful broth that I could drink every week. The eel was crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a slightly sweet and light sauce. There is additional sauce on the table, so you can add more to your liking. Be careful with the generous amount of sansho pepper that comes with it. The chawanmushi had a slightly sweet soy sauce flavor. The grilled eel liver was equivalent to the liver of 5 eels, with a delicious balance of smoky, sweet, and bitter flavors that paired perfectly with the beer. When I left, there were about 10 people waiting. It's definitely a popular spot.

Visited for lunch around 1 pm. Located near Goryokaku Park, this eel restaurant has a calming, traditional Japanese interior. The eel was tender and had a gentle flavor. The sauce was just right, not too thick or too thin, with a light texture. It was so delicious that I want to come back again!

Hakodate's number one eel traditional restaurant. I don't care if eels are endangered species, the charm of eels is irresistible. The name of the restaurant no longer includes "tempura", but they still have tempura menu. The eel liver dish is also delicious. Let's go on a day other than the midsummer day of the ox.

The eel in Hakodate is quite challenging to find. There are hardly any shops to begin with. The most famous ones are probably here and the Japanese restaurant inside the International Hotel, right? I actually tried making reservations over the phone a few times, but it was difficult to get a reservation. I thought I was being underestimated. By chance, I was told they could seat two people at 11:30, so I went on the weekend and found a surprisingly large restaurant with private rooms that were open to each other, and there were quite a few seats, but it was packed. Moreover, it seemed they were rotating customers in time slots during lunchtime. The staff led us to a corner of the private room, where we checked the menu. We asked the waitress about the differences between unagi-don and unaju, as well as the differences between regular, special, and extra special, and both of us ended up ordering unagi-don. We also ordered two skewers. We were told to wait about 20 minutes, so we had a brief planning meeting for our next trip. Waiting for eel was not a problem. Now, a small bag of sansho pepper and a small dish of sauce arrived, and shortly after, the skewers arrived. Oh? The motsu (offal) looks impressive! Oh my, it's better than expected, and the grilling is done nicely. Let's see. Yes! It's delicious. This is great!! I feel like having some sake!!! I resisted the urge and had a bite. Yummy! Now, after another serving of sansho pepper and sauce, the donburi arrived. Yes, this is a nicely shaped unagi. Let's see. It's so tender that it almost falls apart with chopsticks, so I cut a piece and eat it. Delicious. Long time no see, unagi! The grilling, steaming, and sauce are all top-notch, right? The price is great, this is good!! And the rice is cooked just the way I like it, with the sauce coloring it just right. Let's go! A bite of unagi, a mouthful of rice. Nice!! A bite of unagi, a mouthful of rice. Haha!! It's delicious! It's fun!! From the top, there's the liver to suck up, so I enjoy the flavor by rinsing my mouth. And again! From the beginning!! No complaints. The eel restaurant in a rural town was underestimated. Excuse me. Still full inside the restaurant, the owner took a breather and gave us a proper farewell, conveying the deliciousness. I'll be back.

The end of the trip is at a long-established eel restaurant. Thank you for the delicious meal! (^人^)

Near Goryokaku Park, behind Hanataro, there is an eel restaurant called Takahashi. It was very busy on the day of the Ox (midsummer day of the Ox). The tempura bowl and kakiage bowl seem delicious, so I definitely want to come back again. #Hakodate #GoryokakuPark #eel

I had the grilled eel set meal (large) and it was delicious. The flavor was very refined and the eel melted in my mouth. The grilling was done perfectly.
