うなぎは熊本県、熊本市の大衆鰻 うな春 | 気軽に楽しめる鰻料理

We came all the way from Australia. The eel was one of the richest and well cooked I’ve ever had. To top it all off the soup was extremely comforting and tasty. I ordered half of an eel and the portion size was way more than enough. If you order eel on a plate, they provide unlimited refill of the rice and soup. The effort put into the service and presentation of the meal is commendable.

This is one of the best eel I have had in Japan. The price was amazing for such soft eel and fluffy rice. I really enjoyed the complimentary toppings like soup, radish, pickles, tableside eel sauce. They offer free rice refills if you order the grilled eel. Their service was amazing and they helped us with any questions we had about the meal.

Outstanding Unagi Restaurant. Food was of such good quality and value. The soup, rice and compliments were also very good.

Service was super friendly and helpful. Chef was also very friendly

Highly reccomended.

出張で熊本を訪れた昼、せっかくなら鰻を食べようと思い、うな春の暖簾をくぐった。
注文したのは、うな重一尾四千円。

案内をしてくれた店員はどこかぎこちない。どうやらアルバイト初日とのこと。店長が教えながらの接客となった。しかし、店長は一つひとつ優しく教えており、自然にフォローを入れながら店を回していた。料理の味だけでなく、こういう空気をまとった店は、応援したくなる。

運ばれてきた鰻は、専門店として十分に満足できる仕上がりだった。香ばしく焼かれた身に、たれがほどよく絡み、ご飯も粒立ちがいい。刻み海苔やわさびなどの薬味、お吸い物がセルフサービスで自由にいただけるのも、自分にはちょうどよかった。気取らず、自分のペースで最後まで楽しめる。大衆鰻屋との看板の通りであった。

旅とは、名所をいくつ巡ったかではなく、ふと心に残る風景をいくつ持ち帰れるかで決まるのかもしれない。熊本を離れた今も、復興中の熊本城、雨に濡れる石垣、巨木、路面電車の音、そしてあの店の穏やかな空気は、静かに記憶に残っている。

During a business trip to Kumamoto, I decided to have eel for lunch and stepped into Unaharu.

I ordered the unaju (eel rice bowl) for 4,000 yen.

The waiter who showed me to my table seemed a little awkward. Apparently, it was his first day as a part-timer. The manager was teaching him as he served me. However, the manager was patiently teaching him step by step, naturally supporting him and running the restaurant smoothly. It's not just the taste of the food, but this kind of atmosphere makes you want to support the restaurant.

The eel that was served was perfectly prepared, as expected from a specialty restaurant. The meat was grilled to a fragrant crisp, the sauce was just right, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The self-service condiments like shredded seaweed, wasabi, and soup were also just right for me. It was unpretentious, and I could enjoy it at my own pace until the very end. It truly lived up to its sign as a casual eel restaurant.

Perhaps a trip isn't defined by how many famous places you visit, but by how many memorable landscapes you can take home with you. Even now that I've left Kumamoto, the Kumamoto Castle under reconstruction, the rain-soaked stone walls, the giant trees, the sound of the streetcars, and the peaceful atmosphere of that shop remain quietly in my memory.
