Chitose

This restaurant is a professional in eel cuisine, using carefully selected eels such as those from Mikawa Isshiki. It features a crispy texture and juiciness from freshly grilled eels, and the sauce has been a homemade secret balance that has been used for many years. They offer a wide range of menu items including eel rice bowls, eel boxes, hitsumabushi, and rare dishes like uzaku and eel rolls. The free large servings of rice are a delightful bonus.

The interior of Chitose exudes a calm Japanese-style atmosphere. With a wide range of options from private tatami rooms to sunken hearths and table seating, it is appealing for families, groups, and elderly customers. The ability to feel a bit luxurious at an affordable price is a delightful point.

Chitose has a calm store appearance that evokes a sense of history, yet it maintains a cleanliness that heightens anticipation with each visit. While preserving traditional practices, it is a long-established shop that is well-maintained and can be visited with peace of mind.
