At first I think, “Are we eating here?”
I may look a little doubtful, but please do not worry. There are only about three tables on the first floor, and you can also eat in the tatami room on the second floor.

丁子屋(ちょうじや)4

What should we order? Of course, grilled eel over rice (unajū).
They start cooking after they receive the order, so you need to wait for quite a while.
The taste is very good, so the wait is worth it.
Inside, you can see many newspaper articles and TV program features on the walls.
It is clearly a very famous restaurant.

Here it is. This is the unajū.
I took a bite before I remembered to take the photo.
It looked so delicious that I could not resist.
