[Tenjin Lunch] Crispy and fluffy eel rice bowl from a domestic eel specialty store! Takeout also available

Hello! I'm Hakata Aya, a writer who loves hot information about Fukuoka!

This time we will introduce a domestic eel specialty restaurant located in Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, which has been a hot topic since its opening on January 23, 2025.

Plumply steamed Kanto style! Japanese eel specialty store "Unagi Sandaime Gennai" (Tenjin, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City)

"Unagi Sandaime Gennai" is located on Kajimachi Street, one block west of Watanabe Kita Street, close to "Mina Tenjin". It is about 2 minutes from the West Exit 1 of Tenjin Station on the Subway Kuko Line.

The interior of the shop has a natural and bright atmosphere with a wooden motif. In addition to the table seats shown in the photo below, there are also counter seats.

I visited during lunch time on a weekday, but customers kept coming in and it quickly became full! This shows how popular the restaurant is.

They use carefully selected domestic eels from Aichi and Mie prefectures. After carefully removing the mud, they steam-grill the eels in the Kanto style until they are plump and tender, with a crispy, fragrant exterior.

The restaurant's proud sauce, made using soy sauce from a long-established soy sauce brewery in Kyushu, is characterized by its moderate sweetness and deep richness, which is said to go perfectly with the lightly seasoned eel.

There are three kinds of signature dish "Unadon" (grilled eel on rice). As shown in the picture above, "Unadon (regular)" with half an eel (2,480 yen), "Unadon (high-grade)" with 3/4 of an eel (3,280 yen), and "One Unadon" (3,980 yen) are all available. With the recent rise in eel prices, this is a welcome change!

Other dishes you can enjoy include "Hitsumabushi" (4,180 yen), the a la carte dishes "Long-grilled eel" (3,780 yen), "Eel with grated yam" (1,000 yen), "Liver grilled (limited quantity)" (800 yen), and "Eel kabuto-yaki (limited quantity)" (700 yen).

Luxurious and very satisfying! Try the "Ippon Unaju"

The highlight of the day was the "One-piece Unaju" (3,980 yen)! It comes with pickles and liver soup.

The bento box is filled with eel and is truly impressive!

The eel is thick and meaty. The outside is crispy, but the inside is soft and plump. The fragrant aroma is irresistible. The sweet sauce is well-absorbed, and it's so delicious you won't be able to stop eating.

You can customize it to your liking using the sauces and Japanese pepper available on the table.

The liver soup was mildly seasoned and did not overwhelm the eel rice.

We also recommend adding the "Ochazuke Set" (200 yen), which includes wasabi, green onions, seaweed, and dashi stock, to create a luxurious ochazuke.

"Unagi Sandaime Gennai" is a convenient place to stop by between shopping trips. Take-out lunches are also available.
