Story & Recommendation
Eel dishes and sake served in a historic brewery.
Unagi -KURO- is located in Fushimi, where sake brewing is thriving. The restaurant is located in a renovated warehouse once used by "Gekkeikan", a sake brewing company in Fushimi, and offers eel dishes in a spacious restaurant. Unlike the Kanto style, where the eel is opened from the back, steamed, and then grilled, here the Kansai style is served, where the eel is opened from the belly and grilled over charcoal without steaming. Just before cooking, the eels are made to swim in Fushimi spring water, which has a soft and mild flavor, to remove the smell of the eels. The emphasis is put on meaty and fatty eels. Skilled artisans carefully bake them for about 20 minutes to ensure they have a soft and tender texture. We recommend ordering sake with your meal, as a wide selection of "Gekkeikan" sake is available. Please enjoy sake and exquisite eel dishes in a brewery where you can feel Fushimi's history.
