I arrived at around 11:30 and there were not many customers, probably because it was a weekday. I ordered one whole eel and 1.5 eels, and also added an eel roll. Just as I finished the eel roll, the eel dish arrived. It was surprisingly quick, probably because it was only grilled without steaming. It was my first time trying grilled eel only, and it was quite fluffy. I thought it would have a firmer texture. I added a little more eel sauce from the bottle on the table, and paired it with the Sansho pepper and white miso paste that came with it, which was a perfect combination. I would like to come back at night to enjoy it with some drinks next time.

The customer service was great and the atmosphere of the shop was also very nice, especially being in Pontocho. We made a reservation for our seats and had no problem entering on a weekday. The surface was very crispy and the taste was deliciously fragrant.

At the end of the year, I wanted to eat eel so I went. When I arrived, there was a wait for one group, about 20 minutes. It took another 20 minutes to be seated and take our order. The atmosphere of the waitstaff and kitchen staff didn't seem very good, maybe they were busy. The eel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Delicious. It was worth the wait. That's all.

I had bookmarked Nyorosuke-san's restaurant over a year ago. Eating eel can be quite expensive, so it's not something I do often. However, on this day, while walking in Pontocho, I stumbled upon this restaurant. The lovely proprietress asked me, "How about trying our eel dish?" and I impulsively decided to dine there. I ordered the Eel Rice Bowl (medium size) for 4,180 yen and a Hannyari Plum Wine Soda for 770 yen. I also tried Nyorosuke-san's original sake for 880 yen. I started with the light plum wine to quench my thirst, and when I asked the proprietress about the best way to enjoy sake, she recommended having it chilled, especially during the hot season. The eel dish arrived, and it looked stunning in the lacquered box. The eel was tender and fluffy, cooked to perfection. The rice was deliciously sticky, and one serving was quite satisfying. It was so delicious that I even bought an eel roll and eel rice bowl as gifts for my parents, who also thoroughly enjoyed them. Apart from various eel dishes, they also serve chicken dishes like chicken hot pot and grilled chicken skewers, which seem like a great option for a night of drinking. The friendly farewell from the chef as I left left a lasting impression. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I have never had eel in Kyoto, so I decided to try it out and made a reservation. I ordered the grilled and broiled eel set which was a good deal. I thought it would take a while since it's eel, so I ordered a few other dishes as well. However, I was surprised at how quickly the food came out. It almost felt like they were prepared in advance or brought out by mistake. Because of this, the table was crowded and I didn't feel like I had a chance to fully enjoy the eel, which was not very warm. The eel bones were very impressive, showing how big the eel must have been. The liver was a bit pricey, but the eel rolls were the most delicious. The eel sashimi was recommended, but it didn't taste very fresh. I ordered the half portion, but since the eel was not included, it was not necessary. Finally, there was a problem at the cash register, causing a delay for other customers as well. Overall, it was a bit disappointing.

I wanted to eat Kansai-style eel, so I went to Pontocho. There is a specialized restaurant where they grill freshly prepared eel. I love Kansai-style eel. I travel to various eel restaurants in search of crispy Kansai-style eel. The name "Nyoro Suke" is also interesting. It's convenient that they open from 11 am.

There is an eel restaurant in Pontocho. It seems to be a chain store. I tried the grilled and boiled eel. It's recommended to try both. It's true that eating two pieces of grilled eel can get boring. This restaurant has its own unique way of grilling, making it fluffy and very delicious! I can't believe you can eat eel like this in Kyoto. I want to go back to this restaurant again.

This day started with a walk to Kyoto in search of bread. As my stomach started to growl, I crossed through Kyoto Imperial Palace and headed towards an eel restaurant. I couldn't forget the image of this eel dish I saw on the internet and really wanted to try it. Approaching Shijo, the area around Pontocho was also not very crowded, so I decided to go in without a reservation. I arrived at the restaurant at 11:45. The restaurant was located in a narrow alley in Pontocho. Inside, there were about 6 counter seats and 5 table seats. I preferred the counter seats, but since I didn't have a reservation, I was seated at a table alone. The menu offered various dishes including eel rice bowl, hitsumabushi, and courses. However, it was a day I decided not to drink alcohol and I knew exactly what I wanted to eat, so I ordered the eel rice bowl. The eel in a bucket was shown to me. They said it was "cut and grilled fresh," so I thought they would cut it now. I knew eel takes time to prepare, so I was prepared to wait patiently, but surprisingly, it was served in about 15 minutes. Maybe because it's Kansai style and not steamed, it was faster? The eel rice bowl, special deluxe (4,620 yen including tax), was impressive. The lid of the box was slightly raised. I've seen this somewhere before. Yes, it was at Wami in Shin-Koiwa! The eel rice bowl there had the eel folded, but here it was not folded and protruding out. When I removed the lid, there were two eels, one white-grilled and one broiled, sitting there. Of course, I couldn't see the rice. I first tried the white-grilled eel with wasabi and salt. The skin was crispy and delicious, but the meat was tender and broke when picked up with chopsticks. The broiled eel was also crispy on the outside. The sauce was a bit sweet for my taste. Both were quite fatty, and I realized it would be difficult to finish both. The amount of rice seemed to be a bit less than usual, but there was a bamboo mat under the box, making it difficult to pick up the rice grains stuck between the bamboo. The table setting included sansho pepper and sansho miso, which I really liked. The soup was not liver soup but regular miso soup. Pickles and simmered kelp were also served. I couldn't finish everything, so I asked for a takeout. Even though I couldn't finish the eel, I was quite satisfied with the experience. The takeout was turned into a mini eel rice bowl at home. For those who can't decide between white-grilled and broiled eel, I recommend this dish. Thank you for the meal.

The eel restaurant "Negiya" in Pontocho has opened a new sister store specializing in eel dishes. The eel set meal with one eel costs 2,800 yen, which is quite reasonable! The most expensive dish, featuring two pieces of grilled and steamed eel, is priced at 4,300 yen. Before grilling, they show you the eel being prepared, making the wait exciting. The grilled eel was exceptionally delicious!

The eel was delicious, but one thing that bothered me was that when eating rice, the bottom became like a sieve, making it difficult to pick up the rice at the bottom, resulting in a lot of leftover rice.

At lunchtime, I visited Kyoto for the first time and had eel at a reasonable price. The liver skewer was a bit raw... I wonder if that's the Kyoto style.

I am very happy that you can put as much green onion as you want on anything.

It was located in a beautiful cityscape in Kyoto~

The eel was delicious and better than expected, but the staff's hospitality was lacking.
