Inaka An Kokura Honten

Inakaan Kokura Honten, a long-established eel restaurant in Kokura, Fukuoka, founded in 1926, is celebrated for its unique 'konashi' grilling technique. This method involves grilling thick eel at high temperatures for an extended period, resulting in a distinct crispy skin and a tender, fluffy interior. The restaurant uses a special sauce made from carefully selected soy sauce and mirin, complementing the eel's rich flavor. Despite its popularity and frequent recognition as a Tabelog Unagi Hyakumeiten, reviews suggest manageable wait times. Private rooms are available, though access may be limited during peak seasons.
