Kurosaki Inakaan Hibiya

Kurosaki Inaka-an Hibi-ya is a highly acclaimed eel restaurant in Kitakyushu, a consistent Tabelog Unagi Hyakumeiten and mentioned as Michelin-listed. Established in 1991, it's famous for its unique 'Inaka-an style' grilling, involving intense heat and a special folding technique to achieve a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. They source high-quality eel, akin to wild eel, from Kagoshima and Miyazaki. While reservations are available on weekdays, weekends and holidays operate on a first-come, first-served basis. The sauce is subtly sweet and savory.
