I love unagi. My wife? Not so much. The last time we were in Kyoto we scheduled a day where we had a day to ourselves, without the other person around. Our rental was near Fushimi Inari and there was an eel restaurant on our path to the train stations. I knew she wouldn't want to join me, so I planned to visit them at lunchtime on my solo day. But when I got there they were closed. They were closed because they were doing a photo shoot for a magazine! I never got to have the eel I wanted, but it just means I have another reason to go back to Kyoto!
Let's ditch the wives and eat some unagi!! Mine goes to bed early, so my evenings were filled with late night snacks and drinks. So many places I didn't get to try though. There's always a next time.
This looks excellent. I never knew about the 4 kings of food... but actually they have always been my favorites, and in the order you describe! Eel, Sushi, Tempura, Soba. Maybe I was an Edo-period Japanese in one of my past lives. ビデオありがとうございます！
What a wonderful and informative show, thank you! Besides the beautiful presentation of the food, I have to say the staff was wonderful! I'm glad you mentioned it as well, the staff can make or break any business, and this lovely restaurant seems to have it all! Thank you!
lol I love how Kazu just sighed with content after taking a bite XD although, this dish kinda reminded me of my dad's hometown cooking of eel that's like braised eel with pickled ginger garnish
Here in my country of Denmark, we have a tradition. We eat eel at Christmas and at Easter. The way we eat it is two ways. One is smoked eel, on rye bread with an egg yolk and chives on top. The other way is fried eel, not dipped in batter....umm what is the word?... just covered in wheat flower, and fried on a frying pan, then eaten with potatoes. There is however a downside to eating eel here in Denmark, it is crazy expensive, like over the top expensive! One kilogram of smoked eel cost about 85$. [edit] Of I forgot, there some local islands here that specialize in "fish food" they server smoked eel, cod and herring all year round.
I definitely love unagi too! Every single time I go to a Japanese restaurant that has it on the menu I order it 😋 I'll gladly travel to Kyoto for this restaurant alone ❤️
This was such great content!! So informative, well explained. Also great pick to introduce some of hidden best as far as local gems. I especially enjoy listening to Shogo, he has calming, soothing aura and easy to listen to. Please do more food contents!!!💕
In some places in America especially Upper New York all the way to Maine people catch eels in some traditional box framed weirs . The box allows all life to travel through and only catch certain pray like eels and fish . Eels are so tasty and full of flavor . Thank you so much for educating and teaching everyone about eels and Japanese culture. The world is to large to have a narrow mindset. Thank you !!
Hitsumabushi is my wife favorite since we went to Nagoya a few years ago. We were too busy trying out other Kyoto's specialties. Will definitely try it next time!
Oh man, I really love unagi. Where I live in the US it is so rare to find a place that sells the bowls. Now I know exactly where I want to go eat if I visit Japan!
I grow myōga in my garden in northern Italy, along with two varieties of shiso. Here is a nearly unknown plant, but I think is a very fascinating one. I'm always glad to see it employed by someone skilled in its culinary uses. Being myself a gardener and a plant enthusiast, I would very much appreciate a video about some plant species commonly used in Japanese cuisine. As always, thank you so much for all you share about Japan. :)
Hi Shogo and Kazu , It's an awesome video ! So amazing ! it's so appetizing ... And, knowing how to live in the Japanese tradition for holding chopsticks ! with your video, Shogo, I practice eating with chopsticks respecting all the rules that you have explained so well, Thank you! I have Japanese friends with whom I tried to keep the tradition and the rules of etiquette in the use of chopsticks, it was a great success and my Japanese friends were honored. I confessed to them that I "cheated" while watching your video and they really appreciated this video. A big big THANKS Shogo! Um Abraço
In Nagoya, where we went for hitsumabushi, the second was eaten with seasoning mixed in with rice and had with the eel. And then the third is with just the eel, rice, and broth. Enjoyed three ways
Unagi is quite literally my favorite food- so glad you and Kazu-san made this video, it'll definitely be a first stop for me! PS you guys have excellent taste in beer!
Saw the shorts and came over here. You are right! It is cheap especially that they have the live eels in the shop! (The one i had been to at narita-san was slightly more expensive)
I don't think I've ever had unagi sashimi either. Plenty of nigiri, though. I definitely understand what you two mean when you say it's dense. It takes a while to chew, though not as much as tako nigiri (octopus). I usually order iidako because it's flavorful while being easier to eat without full-grown tentacles.
I totally want to try eel someday but only in Japan. (I just feel that where I’m from in America y don’t know how to cook it right) so I’m definitely going to save this video even if it’s years down the road.
Nice to see you showing around places again, it has been a while. Nice staff, several people came to answer your questions with positive attitudes all around. Gotta ask though, where I live, eels aren't the most common fish available (for various reasons), how does Japan have such a plentiful supply of eels?
I would love to go here. I'd have to bring a Japanese friend because I can't read Kanji. I had kabayaki in Ginza for about $50 and also in Shinjuku for $15. Both were delicious.
The prices are so cheap for that quality! I'm planning to go to japan when international travel is more stable again and this will definitely be one of my food stops
Unagi is criminally underrated here in the States. I think a lot of people get turned off by the fact that eels look similar to snakes. It's a shame because they're really delicious.
You got me salivating haha, gotta try it next time I go to Kyoto. The pricing seems a bit strange though - your 4 items listed added up to 10758 yen, but you only paid 8030 yen, quite a discount.
This is the one I regret not to try when I went to Yatai Food stalls in Fukuoka... Again as you mentioned they're kind of on the pricey end so I was hesitant. Hope to go back when and if ever travel restrictions are lifted. >
We are unagi lovers and did enjoy your video . However since we are not fluent in Japanese , it would seem impossible to order at this location without your linked interpretation.Hopefully the owner may make an English menu soon . Also may we ask the prices ? Maybe if you display a map on your video of the places you visit with the exact location would be beneficial to a foreigner as well !
Thank you for your comment! I wrote what we ordered in English in the description box so please use that when you order! And there’s also the link of google map so please check it out :)
Hey shogo, let me ask you a tottaly unrelated question i've been really curious about, do you ever use shinken in your iado trainings? Or do you only use dull blades?
I really enjoyed this Shogo! Different from your usual format and absolutely successful. (Love all your content regardless including live streams :) )
I *love* unagi. I’m visiting Japan in two years, and this restaurant is definitely on my list of places to visit now!
I've been wanting to enter Japan for 1.5 year now. Do you have any tips or contacts to help get me in?
@@Varushka123 Save money, get a passport, and talk with a travel agent. They should be able to steer you in all the right places, and may even get you some deals! ☺️
@@discocub although I was aiming at the travel restrictions I thank you for your input.
@@Varushka123 Oh! Sorry. I’m planning for a future trip, so I’m not looking at current restrictions. Sorry!
@@discocub that's oke, I wish you a good time in Japan. It's my personal favorite place to be 😄
Hidden Gems in Kyoto is my favorite series!
We eat eel's in the UK usually pickled (in vinegar) with mashed potatoes.
Thank you for sharing.
Those eel drawings are the best!
Out of all the restaurants that we've visited and want to take Harumi my wife to... This place is by far No.1 of them all! I'll really couldn't believe that its deliciousness to be true😍

Eel is the most underrated of all fish meats, in the West at least.
I hope with all my heart you inspire some people to take a chance and try it.
There are local exceptions. Here in Sweden we love eel. Expensive thou since the population are diminished so fishing are heavily regulated.
It looks very much similar to our Eel food !!!!!! But we Eat with rice with mixing vegetables .From Assam 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Unagi is my favorite Japanese food. This is a great video for eel lovers.
So jealous... unagi is one of my absolute favorites. Thank you for the introduction! Can't wait to come back to Japan. 👍
Shogo keeps making me hungry!

Glad that you are informing us so much about the Japanese culture. Keep up.
As a culinary artist trained in French Cuisine, I really want to experience this when COVID lets me travel...Kyoto for Umagi it is!!!
This looks excellent. I never knew about the 4 kings of food... but actually they have always been my favorites, and in the order you describe! Eel, Sushi, Tempura, Soba. Maybe I was an Edo-period Japanese in one of my past lives.

To clarify how good the Food is, the Thumbnail looked so delicious that this is the first time i watched a Video of 2 Guy eating.
0:04 awww those eels are so cute they little heart shaped heads
Can't wait for more hidden gems in this city
I am so jealous . Unagi is my absolute favorite . I have got to visit . Thank You for the video .
Miss seeing your wife enjoying the wonderful food!
Awesome Shogo!! I really enjoyed this!! I felt like I was there🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 can’t wait to try it!!! Yummy!!
I definitely love unagi too! Every single time I go to a Japanese restaurant that has it on the menu I order it 😋
I'll gladly travel to Kyoto for this restaurant alone ❤️
Unagi is my *favorite* and I’ve been craving it for a while. This video just tells me I have to go out and get some now! I want to eat this so bad.
Nice!
The fact that you have sashimi is proof that the eel is really fresh.
It's an unique restaurant!
Love this video. Am getting really hungry
My wife, I, and one of my daughters would go nuts with the menu.
I am starving for good eel now.
I have never had eel, but now I would like to try some. This restaurant will be on my must visit list.
Just wanted to say love the informational videos glad you got to achieve your goal way before the mark
Japanese people are very serious about food! I love eel and will definitely eat here when I come to Kyoto!
It's my dream to one day visit japan. I absolutely love eating eel so I will definitely try to go if I make it to Kyoto.
Amazing food! That looked so delicious😋
Never considered having eel as a meal but the dishes at that restaurant looked insanely delicious, plus the aesthetics of the place looked good too
YASSSS more foodie vids please, especially hidden gems.
i love eel and asahi is my second favourite beer
Shogo-san, you have no idea how hard it was to watch this video on lunch time. Great video! Hopefully I will visit this place soon!
This was such great content!! So informative, well explained. Also great pick to introduce some of hidden best as far as local gems.
I especially enjoy listening to Shogo, he has calming, soothing aura and easy to listen to. Please do more food contents!!!💕
I have never considered eating eel before but it looks so good that I think I would like to try it. Maybe someday...
I still remember the 1st time I ate eel. It was eel wrapped in sushi but the taste was super distinctive. Hoping to get try eel again sometime soon.
In some places in America especially Upper New York all the way to Maine people catch eels in some traditional box framed weirs . The box allows all life to travel through and only catch certain pray like eels and fish . Eels are so tasty and full of flavor . Thank you so much for educating and teaching everyone about eels and Japanese culture. The world is to large to have a narrow mindset. Thank you !!
I love unagi. One day I'll be able to travel to Kyoto and I hope to enjoy this place.
That looks AMAZING.
Hitsumabushi is my wife favorite since we went to Nagoya a few years ago. We were too busy trying out other Kyoto's specialties. Will definitely try it next time!
I enjoy watching mukbang (food show) like this too. Thank you Shogo-san! ^_^
My friend Ross, from NY, loves Unagi.
Oh, I wish we'd known about this when we were there in 2019. We ate at an izakaya in Pontocho, but I would have loved the eel.
This all looks so delicious! 😊😋😊
Oh man, I really love unagi. Where I live in the US it is so rare to find a place that sells the bowls. Now I know exactly where I want to go eat if I visit Japan!
Kazu’s reaction are straight out of an anime 😂😂😂
Increíble video! That eel looks absolutely delicious! Hopefully one day I can eat some myself ☺️

I agree unagi don is great....i was forcing me not to eat them every day, when i spent my vacation in Kyoto.
Give me three years! I shall come and enjoy

Omggg this food looks amazing!
Unagi is quite literally my favorite food- so glad you and Kazu-san made this video, it'll definitely be a first stop for me! PS you guys have excellent taste in beer!
I need to be there. I love eels!!!!!
unagi is so delicious! i miss eating it, its true you cannot describe how yummy it is until you try it yourself 💚
Eel is delicious! I’ve been wanting to try hitsumabushi, so good to know that this place has it. The eel sashimi looks interesting, too.
I have never try eels or anything like that but they look so good! I'll definitely try some if I ever get the chance!
Saw the shorts and came over here.
You are right! It is cheap especially that they have the live eels in the shop!
(The one i had been to at narita-san was slightly more expensive)
I had hitsumabushi in Nagoya airport years ago. Even that was delicious. Can't wait to go back to Japan.
its Justice Delicious
Man. Stop. I'm drooling ...
Nice alley indeed!
I don't think I've ever had unagi sashimi either. Plenty of nigiri, though. I definitely understand what you two mean when you say it's dense.

Learned alot
Yesss, this is what i waited 😂😂 hontouni arigatou gozaimasu, Shogo 👍

17:13 Shokugeki no Soma finally makes sense to me
Woah, I can't imagine how good it is, I lova unagi in my country already, need to try unagi in Japan though!!
Also I love how precious this content is
おいしそう!!

I had kabayaki in Ginza for about $50 and also in Shinjuku for $15. Both were delicious.
Unagi is seriously so good. I need to go there some day. Looks amazing.
...Assuming they can make it not spicy at all, that is. :x
Just after I've read "Unagi" I instatnly thought of Ross from Friends :D
Perfect. Right as lunch hits. XD
Wow! I have not tried eel sashimi yet!
I want to taste lol.. I have no idea how these dishes taste like 🙈but I'll have to try
id love to take mybhusband here, hope they have an English menu!
I am 2nd
Also this is very interesting
Definitely will check it out if I had the chance to come to Japan
The prices are so cheap for that quality! I'm planning to go to japan when international travel is more stable again and this will definitely be one of my food stops
Out of curiosity, how much did it cost you? It all looked and sounded so good and you had a lot of food!
Interesting and unique menu. Is it really handwritten on?
What were the prices like? The food looked fantastic!
Love the video! But why cover Kazu's face? I was confused by that. We have seen him on camera before, no?
Unagi is criminally underrated here in the States. I think a lot of people get turned off by the fact that eels look similar to snakes. It's a shame because they're really delicious.
You got me salivating haha, gotta try it next time I go to Kyoto.

I had an Unagi bowl for the first time last week. It was delicious!
In the Netherland we have
smoked eel (Volendam)
This is the one I regret not to try when I went to Yatai Food stalls in Fukuoka... Again as you mentioned they're kind of on the pricey end so I was hesitant. Hope to go back when and if ever travel restrictions are lifted. >

I don’t use Shinken for my iaido training, but I do use it for tameshigiri cutting mat training!
That menu looks intimidating, don’t think google translate would be able to help me decipher. But the food looks delicious
