Unagi Hirokawa - Kyoto

(trip was then on 4. dez 2019, 2 years ago the Covid-19 pandemic hit) 2 years ago there were some unforgettable highlights of our Kansai trip, and our meal at unagi hirokawa was definitiw one of them. we chose the full course for the complete experience and were very impressed that they used different techniques to represent the aal dishes differently, which offers another culinary experience with each dish. the highlight was the grilled aal that was simply amazing. it was extremely fresh, with a soft and delicate texture with a mild sweet. it was the best aal we ever tasted. reservations is a must, otherwise they are better to eat somewhere else on the lookout.

3 hours to get in. but I think it was worth waiting. that is part of the experience I appreciate. eating is highest quality. is sufficient. managed to order the very limited unagi leber and bones. service is top notch. good ambiente. when they drive, there's a dozen loose fronts.

As other reviews have said, definitely make a reservation or get there early. I waited at 2 and half an hour. do not be deceived from the line outside, theine also drives inside. now on eating, it is the most delicious aal I had in my life, it just dissolves in her mouth as they use her mouth. only regrets, I wish I had the bigger part size.

More amazing place to taste Unami dishes in a tourist location. recommend the unagi packaged in i you can taste any delicate layer! a little expensive, but the rest worth and quiet in a very lively opposite. extended reservation is a must, but does not hurt to try her luck and ask at the door. we did it and got in!

Quality of the Unagi is definitely delicious! There is a choice of miso or clear soup (for the set). Love the clear soup as I was about to taste the vegetables used in the soup. Do remember to make reservation as they do not accept walk-in. A deposit of ¥3,000 is required at the point of reservation
