An eel restaurant on the 3rd floor of "Joyful Kokubu (Life Kokubu store)", a commercial facility directly connected to Kawachi-Kokubu Station on the Kintetsu Osaka Line. It's right after you exit the ticket gates at Kawachi-Kokubu Station. The restaurant has three 4-person tables and about 5 counter seats. The sauce is a little sweet, and the rice felt a bit soft to me, but the eel with fluffy flesh and the very fragrant sansho were extremely delicious. Note that closing time is a little early, at 18:30. Also, no alcohol is served.

The other day I had eel for Doyo. Super delicious. No fishy smell at all, a refined flavor. I ordered the regular (nami), so next time I'll eat more and order the tokujo (premium)!

When it comes to eating eel, it's Akashi-san for me. Even though it's far from home, I always come here. Ordered the tokujo unaju The eel is crispy outside and plump and melty inside — the best! The sansho is delicious too. The cucumber and octopus sunomono, pickles, and kimosui are also delicious and leave my heart full. I'll come again. Thanks for the meal.

A renowned eel restaurant that Kokubu is proud of. Today I came back home from Wakayama to treat my mother to eel for her birthday, and came in all excited without having eaten anything since morning My mother and I both love eel, and even though we've eaten it dozens of times, there's still that thrill of opening the lid♪ Sprinkled on sansho and took the first bite (Hm? Did the sansho change? Delicious〜♡) The eel really is as delicious as ever (tears) Akashi-san's sunomono and clear soup are as delicious as ever too. My mother drank up every last drop of the sunomono liquid trying to figure out its flavor lol I was surprised to hear the restaurant has been around for 43 years. It brought back so many memories Like when my morning sickness was so bad I couldn't eat, and my mother bought Akashi-san's eel for me And when I bought takeout for my daughter, also an eel lover and in a rebellious phase at the time; the next day half was left in the fridge, so thinking it hadn't suited my daughter's taste, I ate it — and the next morning my daughter blew up at me: "It was so delicious it'd be a waste to eat it all at once, so I saved it to eat this morning!" I hope they keep the restaurant going in this spot forever. I'll come again. Next time for my birthday♪ Thanks for the meal♡

I'd looked up eel restaurants on Google Maps and had wanted to go here for a while. I ordered the unaju jo. It was served in about 10 minutes. The eel was crispy and fragrant outside, fluffy inside with perfect fattiness, and the sauce was tasty too — a really delicious eel. Plenty of volume too. The side dishes of takuan and sunomono were also very delicious. The restaurant is directly connected to Kintetsu Kawachi-Kokubu Station, convenient for people using the station, but I felt it's hard to get to by car. It was so delicious that I want to come again.
