I arrived just before 11:30 on a regular day and was able to sit down without waiting. The restaurant has expanded its parking lot, which is convenient because it used to be crowded and I had to park far away. I ordered the "Unaju Yama" with extra rice (3,980 yen) and it arrived in about 10 minutes. Today's eel was exceptionally delicious. The meat was soft, tender, and fresh. It had a different taste, not just from the grilling or sauce, but the eel itself was special. I don't know why, but it was absolutely amazing. Thank you for the meal.

This eel restaurant is very famous in the area. I knew of its existence but visited for the first time. I had heard before that you need to make a reservation or you won't be able to eat, so this time I called a week in advance. It's not a reservation for a specific time, just to secure the eel, then you go and write your name down and wait. I was called after about a 20-minute wait. I ordered an eel rice bowl (with skin) and my partner ordered the river eel. It came with eel liver soup and pickles. Apparently, the amount of eel is different. First, we got the liver soup and pickles. They were incredibly delicious. I was already impressed at this point. Now for the main event, the eel arrived. The moment I lifted the lid, a wonderful aroma filled the air. The eel sauce is a secret recipe that has been passed down for over 50 years. They have eel delivered fresh daily from Lake Hamana for that day's use. The sauce alone could make you want to eat a whole bowl of rice. Now, the eel. The moment I put my chopsticks in... it was so soft!! When I put it in my mouth, the soft eel and the sauce harmonized with the rice. It was the best eel I have ever eaten in my life. I wonder what eel I had eaten before? It was truly delicious. If you ever find yourself in this area, I highly recommend visiting this renowned restaurant.

I visited for my husband's birthday celebration. I had heard that this was a famous eel restaurant, so I was really looking forward to my first visit to Fujita. We ordered grilled eel liver, eel rolls, grilled eel, and eel rice bowl. We were completely absorbed in the deliciousness of the eel, and before we knew it, we had finished eating without even remembering to take photos. I loved the grilled eel liver, while my husband's favorite was the grilled eel. Of course, the eel rice bowl was amazing as well. Thank you for the wonderful meal! (*´ω`*)

This is an eel restaurant located about a 20-minute walk from Toyoda Station. It's always crowded with people lining up outside, a popular spot. My wife and I had the eel bowl for lunch on a holiday, priced at 2200 yen. The eel was fluffy and melted in the mouth with a great aftertaste, very delicious. Next time, I definitely want to try the eel set on a special occasion. I'm rooting for this place!

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant at 11:30 on Sunday. I was just in time to be seated for the first round. I ordered the eel roll and eel rice bowl (mountain). As usual, there was plenty of rice and sauce. The eel from Lake Hamana was large, plump, tender, and delicious when combined with the sauce. I think the cost performance is excellent. If you want to eat eel, I recommend this restaurant.

I visited for the usual birthday meal. I love it when the eel is so tender it's almost falling apart, and I was a bit disappointed last time, but today it was perfect... I was surprised by the amazing guests on this Sunday visit, so glad I made a reservation. The grilled liver was the perfect accompaniment to beer. The eel today was delicious.

I finally had the chance to visit a famous eel restaurant that is always crowded with people nearby. I ordered the grilled eel on rice and eel sushi. The eel was tender and soaked in sauce. The menu also had a variety of side dishes, so I want to try something different next time.

The eel restaurant Fujita's set menu. I chose the middle option (river). The salad with myoga as an accent is refreshing! The fluffy eel egg enhances the flavor of the eel. The eel rice bowl is finished plump and the sauce is also mild. Overall, it is a cost-effective restaurant.

I always rely on this restaurant when I have an eel craving. The eel is tender and the sauce has a nice balance of flavors, paired with perfectly cooked rice. It's so delicious that I always end up eating it all in one go. Their grilled eel liver is also delicious. However, it's quite popular so if you want to eat there on the midsummer day of the ox, you need to go early.

I went to this restaurant recommended by a friend for a special celebration. Although you cannot make a reservation for a seat, you can reserve eel in advance, so I made a reservation two weeks prior. On the day, people enter in the order they arrive. I arrived an hour before opening, wrote my name on the board, and waited until it was time to enter. Due to the year-end rush, there were about 10 groups waiting just 10 minutes after opening. The restaurant was popular, with constant orders for eel bento. I ordered the grilled eel (mountain) for 3960 yen, which came with liver sashimi and pickles. The eel was shiny and had just the right amount of fat. The flesh was fluffy and tender, with a crispy skin that had a delicious aroma. The sauce had a perfect balance of sweetness and amount, allowing me to enjoy the flavor of the eel and rice without it becoming too soggy. The powdered sansho pepper had a strong aroma, enveloping the eel when sprinkled on top. I discovered a new way to enjoy it by sprinkling it between the eel and rice, creating a different deliciousness. The liver sashimi had a rich flavor with a strong dashi taste. The pickles had a robust taste, making them a good palate cleanser after the eel. The eel bento was served in about 15 minutes and was deliciously satisfying. It was a memorable and enjoyable time celebrating with delicious eel.

Since the iPhone has face recognition, you may be worried about someone unlocking your phone while you're asleep and looking at your photos. But for me, I'm not worried at all. I've always been okay with using my fingerprint for security, even if someone tries to unlock it with face recognition. In fact, I'm fine with leaving my phone with my wife when I get home. However, I did feel a bit guilty about a photo of eel I ate alone before the Bon festival. My wife loves eel, so I didn't want her to see it and think I went without her. But after accidentally getting caught looking for photos of our late dog, I decided to write a review. The restaurant is called "Fujita" in Toyoda, and they source domestic eel from Hamamatsu. The fourth-generation owner serves delicious eel sets at reasonable prices. I had the middle "river" set for 3,960 yen and it was fantastic. Highly recommended for those living in the Tama area.

This was my first visit during the pandemic, and even though I arrived right before opening, there was already a long line of people, mostly with eel reservations. Luckily, I was able to secure a same-day reservation for an eel dish. Many people opt for the set menu, but I prefer just the eel. I ordered the eel rice bowl with the largest amount of eel. While waiting, I also ordered the eel roll that I enjoyed during my last visit.

Located in Tokyo, the Hamamatsu-based Unagi Fujita Tokyo branch is a must-visit for eel lovers. The restaurant, a sister branch to the ones in Hamamatsu, Hamamatsu Station, and Shirokanedai, is where I experienced the delicious eel dish once again. The popularity of the restaurant was evident as there was a line during lunchtime. I opted for the Unaju set with liver and pickles, which was a perfect choice. The eel was flavorful and tender, with a balanced combination of sauce and eel. The nostalgic taste of Fujita's eel from Hamamatsu brought back fond memories. I used to frequent eel restaurants in Hamamatsu, but Fujita's Kanto-style eel dish always stood out for its gentle flavor. I especially love the lack of any strong aftertaste in Hamamatsu eel. I would love to visit again if given the chance.

I finally visited an eel restaurant located within walking distance from Hino and JR Toyoda Station. The restaurant uses a secret sauce and eels from Hamamatsu to make Kanto-style eel dishes. The key to the eel's taste is the sweet sauce. Eel Fujita's sauce has a history of over 50 years and is continuously passed down through generations. Although I thought they might serve Kansai-style eel since they use eels from Hamamatsu, the eel dish was actually a fluffy Kanto-style. The sweet sauce was delicious, but the portion of rice was a bit small, so I want to get a large serving of rice next time. I found the ranking system for the eel dishes - mountain, river, and village - interesting.

The restaurant smelled delicious even from outside. It was a bit difficult to find as it was located in an area where you would typically go by car. However, once inside, the place was crowded with people. The grilled whitefish and eel rice bowl were both delicious with a fluffy texture. I would love to come back again!

I had una-ju (eel on rice) for the first time during my visit. It was delicious. It was crowded even on a weekday, and the parking lot was full. Luckily, I had made a reservation so we were seated right away on the second floor. I recommend making a reservation when visiting.

Fujita, the eel restaurant, is a well-known establishment that has been selected as one of the top 100 eel restaurants. While the shop in Hamamatsu is particularly famous, it is not a branch of the original shop. The previous owner in Hamamatsu was in the eel farming business, and his son opened a shop in Hino, while his brother opened a shop in their hometown of Hamamatsu. Therefore, although the grilling method and sauce may be similar, they are different. The shop in Shirogane is run by the daughter of the owner of the Hamamatsu shop. Thus, while Hamamatsu and Shirogane are sister shops, they are not related to the Hino shop. The restaurant is more popular among locals than tourists due to its location. The parking and bicycle parking facilities are well-equipped. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats, tables, and tatami seating, with many lively staff members. The staff are all very friendly and provide excellent service. I visited on a Sunday at 12:00 to reserve an eel dish. There were about six groups waiting, but the turnover was fast, and I was seated in about 15 minutes. The eel used in the dishes is sourced from Lake Hamana, as the restaurant is in the eel farming business. Since it is a popular restaurant, they are constantly steaming the eel. The finishing touch is grilling over Kishu Binchotan charcoal. It is possible to make a reservation for a seat, and if it gets crowded, they can hold the eel for you. It is recommended to reserve in advance during this time to avoid items being sold out. The eel dish I ordered was the "Unaju Kawahagi" for 3080 yen, which came with liver soup and pickles. The dish arrived in less than 30 minutes, and upon opening the lid, a fragrant charcoal aroma wafted out. The eel was of a size that was a bit thin, about 4.5 points. The surface was grilled well, with the skin being lightly grilled. The steaming was well done, and due to the strong grilling, it did not fall apart even when picked up with chopsticks. The sauce was not too much, and it was not burnt. The eel was indeed a bit thin, so it did not have a plump texture, but it was soft and well-grilled. The balance of steaming and grilling was good, and the eel was not only tender but also had the deliciousness of grilling, with a smooth and slightly eel-like aroma. The quality and freshness of the eel were good, and the fat added a mellow and delicious richness. The skin was lightly grilled and not fishy, so it was not a concern. The sauce was very tasty, with a light sweetness and a strong umami flavor. It had a sharp finish that complemented the eel well. The rice was slightly firm and delicious, with each grain standing out, showing the restaurant's commitment. While it was not extremely surprising, there were no particular flaws, and it was indeed delicious. It is understandable why it is popular at this price. By the time I left the restaurant around 13:00, the eel was sold out! Especially on weekends during this season, it might be a good idea to reserve just the eel dish to be safe. Thank you for the meal!

On Sunday at noon, I revisited the restaurant at 11:30 AM. The "sold out" sign was up, but I managed to get a spot after waiting for 30 minutes. The restaurant was packed with customers. I ordered the grilled eel dish, which was served in about 15 minutes. The eel was tender and delicious with a nice glaze. It's always a great choice to come here. I left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I started to feel like eating eel, so I visited this restaurant. When I arrived, there was already a good smell... The taste was really delicious as reputed, and the rice was just enough to make me full. The chawanmushi was also delicious!! After finishing the meal and leaving the restaurant, I saw a long line forming outside.

On Sunday at noon, I revisited the restaurant at 11:30 am, 5 minutes before opening. The parking lot was already 80% full when I arrived, and the restaurant was already open. Inside, there were only a few seats available on the first floor - one table for two and six seats at the counter. Today, I indulged a little by treating my junior colleague, who will be transferred next month, to a special Sunday lunch at Fujita. We ordered the eel roll unagi donburi (mountain size), which came with piping hot eel and fluffy egg - very delicious! The donburi had just the right amount of sweetness in the sauce, and the eel had a nice fatty texture, making it another excellent dish. The liver sashimi and pickles were lightly seasoned and paired perfectly with the unagi donburi. It was a luxurious time spent enjoying a delicious meal. Thank you for the wonderful food!
