An eel restaurant that evokes the charm of tradition
Kawamoto is a traditional eel restaurant that has been in operation since the Meiji era, featuring deep flavors passed down by the fourth-generation owner. The particularly fragrant grilled eel is expertly cooked to perfection, delighting the palates of all who visit. The accompanying dishes are also heartwarming and delicious, providing a sense of wonder with each visit.
The exterior is traditional and a bit rustic, but once you enter, it feels clean and calming. After securing a seat, you place your order and go to pick up your tray when called, which adds to the travel experience. The signature dish, fried chicken, is freshly fried and juicy, with the bold aroma of Japanese pepper sprinkled generously on top. The refreshing kick balances the grease, allowing you to enjoy a large portion lightheartedly until the end. The miso soup, pickles, and salad are also carefully prepared, providing a simple yet satisfying experience. The warm hospitality of the staff and the lively atmosphere of the restaurant made my memories of exploring Ashio even more enjoyable.
Located in Tochigi Prefecture, the shukubo (temple lodging) at Kobugahara Shrine offers a special accommodation experience that provides visitors with tranquility and a relaxed atmosphere. Guests can stay in traditional Japanese-style rooms and enjoy a welcoming dance in the evening. The shojin cuisine served here allows you to savor a variety of flavors to your heart's content. A special travel experience awaits, rejuvenated by morning prayers.
