About

Osakakoiten Eel Restaurant

Welcome to the delightful world of Osakakoiten Eel Restaurant, nestled in the picturesque town of Tatsuno, Nagano. This charming eatery stands out not only for its exceptional eel dishes but also for its unique offerings of river fish cuisine, such as koi. From the moment you step in, the warm hospitality of the staff makes you feel right at home, even if you arrive unexpectedly.

Guests rave about the koi sashimi, which features masterfully prepared, bone-free slices that are tender and easy to enjoy, served with a refreshing twist of soy sauce instead of the traditional vinegar miso. Another highlight is the unajyu (eel rice bowl) — thick, succulent pieces of grilled eel that strike the perfect balance between flaky and crunchy, all at an impressively reasonable price that beats many typical eel restaurants.

Feedback from diners reflects the restaurant’s dedication to quality. As one satisfied patron noted, "the eel is perfectly grilled and incredibly flavorful," emphasizing the attention to detail that Osakakoiten brings to their dishes. The restaurant prides itself on a charcoal grilling technique, which infuses the food with a rich, smoky aroma that enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients. Moreover, the pacing of the meal is refreshingly prompt, allowing you to indulge without the usual long waits commonly found in traditional eel establishments.

Its ambiance is equally inviting, with a serene riverside location and an exterior that hints at the culinary treasures inside. As you enjoy your meal, you might even catch a glimpse of koi swimming in a pond right outside the restaurant, offering a whimsical connection to the cuisine on your plate.

For those who may hesitate to try koi, past diners encourage you to take the plunge — you may find yourself enchanted by this delightful dish. Whether you come for the eel or are curious about the koi, Osakakoiten Eel Restaurant invites you on a culinary journey full of comforting flavors and unforgettable experiences. Should you find yourself in the area, this gem is definitely worth the visit!

To discover this remarkable dining experience, visit Osakakoiten Eel Restaurant at 2017 Tatsuno, Kamiina District, Nagano 399-0421, Japan or call them at +81 266-41-0019.
