Final Thoughts
The opening date for the Ashiya branch of うなぎ心斎亭, whose flagship restaurant is in Nishinomiya, has finally been announced! Since “鰻の成瀬,” which was located in the same row of shops, closed in February this year, some people may have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new unagi restaurant. We can’t wait to try its Kansai-style charcoal-grilled eel!
うなぎ、どう食べたい派？
