    Mie Pref. Shimashi Agochougata 4032
    This unagi eel restaurant with a lantern marked with the characters for charcoal grilled is located in the Ugata, Ago-cho area of Shima City, Mie Prefecture. Every morning, they slowly grill a fresh Japanese eel cut open that day over high-grade charcoal to seal in the savoriness, and the surface becomes crisp while the inside is soft and fluffy. The chemistry between it and the slightly sweet secret sauce is amazing. The chef's recommendation is the unagi-don joju (high class bowl of rice topped with grilled eel). This dish consists of four pieces of plump and savory eel that are large enough together to completely cover the rice it is placed on. With a spacious Japanese style tatami room, the restaurant is recommended for eating with families.

    いつ、何時に電話しても繋がらない! 何故?予約出来ない! 誰か教えて頂けますか? 2年前の三重旅行の時も同じく、電話繋がらない。 でも、ホームページ、食べログでは予約するように書いてました。 全く意味が分りません。 どうすれば食べれますか?

    ガイドブックを見て訪れました。漁師さんが経営しているお店なので、朝とってきた新鮮なおさかなが食べられます。オススメの伊勢エビの大漁丼は、なんと活きづくりの伊勢エビが乗ってきます!そのほかのお刺身も新鮮で美味。最後は伊勢エビの殻をつかった赤だしをいただけます。とても満足度のたかいお食事でした。一点だけ、クルマで訪問する場合、駐車場停車が難しいのと、周辺の道が狭くわかりづらいので要注意です。(複数名で...

    19:50に行ったら、暖簾も出てるし、店内も営業中の雰囲気で、カウンターに男性(ご主人?)と女性(奥さん?)がいて、接客の女性が「お待ち下さい」と中に入って行き、少しして出てきたら「今日は終わりました」と。 はぁ? 終わりなら店入った時にすぐ言えばいいのに、女一人だし、お金はあまり使わなそうだし、面倒だから断っちゃえ!と、中で相談したのが見え見え。 殿様商売?いや、何様商売ですか?!ひど過ぎます。

Their vegetable loaded taco rice, beef stroganoff, and pancakes piled with fruit are also popular.

With the pleasant sea breeze coming through, you may feel you've stepped into the tropics.

    家族3人で昼下りに利用しました。パンケーキ、フレンチトースト、バナナジュースを頼みました。 味は文句ありません。美味しい。しかし、不満なのはセットメニューの設定がないことです。 普通のカフェなら、飲み物とケーキなどのセットで、たいてい千円以内で楽しめますが、この店ではそうはいきません。すべてが単品仕様なので、ケーキとコーヒーを頼んだら1500円をすぐ超えてしまいます。 そのあたりをもう少し工夫して...

    Mie Pref. Shimashi Isobechouhasama 3-3
    Kawaume was founded in the mid nineteenth century and has been serving eel dishes ever since. Isobe-cho in the city of Shima was once the only place in Japan where eels were farmed, so there was a cluster of eel restaurants in the area. Having inherited this tradition, Kawaume prepares dishes such as Kabayaki (barbecued eel) or Kimosui (eel soup) using recipes and techniques from long ago. Its most famous menu item is Kawaume Don, created by the fourth-generation owner. It differs from ordinary Unagi Don (barbecued eel over rice) in that it is topped with nori seaweed and shiso leaves, and is seasoned with wasabi-flavored soy sauce.

    建物結構年季を感じさせる雰囲気、うなぎが有名なので川うめ丼を頂き、わらびが効いており、うなぎの味もちゃんとしていて、皮のほうが特にすきでした。
