About this spot
Step into Kuromon Market and dive straight into the smoky, savory heat of Hitsumabushi, a traditional grilled eel dish served with three distinct courses: raw, medium-cooked, and fully charred. You'll finish your meal by warming up with a bottle of Barley Shochu or Sweet Potato Shochu to cleanse the palate between bites. This spot is beloved by locals for its authentic preparation that lets the quality of the eel shine through without unnecessary fuss.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Premium Hitsumabushi if you want the thickest, most succulent eel fillets available on the menu.
- Ask the staff to bring extra pickled ginger and lemon wedges to cut through the richness of the grilled fish.
- Save room for a bottle of Draft Beer or Hamidashi Chigo (chicken broth) to soak up the savory glaze.
