Situated in Gion, this restaurant must be the best one to taste the famous eel bento in Kyoto. Knowing that it gained popularity in many travel books as well as in Michelin guide, we opted for having a try though the price was quite costly. When we approached there, the waitress showed her hospitality by leading us to the second floor, asking us whether we preferred a tatami seat or a normal one. We chose a table and looked at the menu excitedly. As we did not know Japanese, we had to better ask for an English one. Luckily, there came a Chinese waiter, showing us what they meant and gave us a Chinese one kindly. We then made our decision to order a small and medium size grilled eel bento.
Yummy, it was so unimaginably tasty and I was kind of amazed to taste such good Japanese cuisine in Kyoto. Although this meal cost us a lot, we truly believed it was worth visiting again.
