What travelers say:
It is said to be a century-old shop, the best eel rice in Sapporo. It is located opposite the Crab General on Sapporo South 4th Street. The shop is considered large in Japan and there are seats as soon as you go. You must use various body language and Japanese English to ask the waiter to bring out the local menu, eel three ways. Eel three ways is the way to eat in Nagoya. The first small bowl is the original flavor, just eel and rice. The eel is freshly grilled, and the sauce of the grilled eel is mixed with rice. The taste is so rich that it is hard to describe, and because it is the first bowl, it will not be greasy; the second bowl is added with chopped green onion, seaweed and mustard, and after stirring, the strong taste of the eel and the mustard, which is not too pungent, complement each other; the third bowl is added with seaweed and chopped green onion and soaked with sencha. After a bite, it is obviously tea rice, but it tastes very delicious, and there is no bland taste as imagined before. I personally like the third way of eating the most. The fourth bowl is a 2+3 mixed meal, which feels good too. According to my friends in the same industry, the eel here is not as good as the one-Michelin-starred one in Arashiyama, Kyoto, but this way of eating it does add points. I will compare it myself next time and then make a judgment.

The eel rice is delicious. I ordered one. There are large and small portions, the difference is the amount of eel. You can eat it with soup or rice, but I think it tastes better in its original flavor.
In Japan, eel dishes are considered a relatively high-end Japanese delicacy. This restaurant specializes in eel dishes, but the prices are relatively moderate and still within an acceptable range.
I just went there last night. It was still freezing cold even though it was April. It was warm as soon as I entered the store. The three of us ordered Unajyu, 200g of eel on rice, sweet sauce and rice with fresh eel! It was heaven on earth hahahaha! There were pickled vegetables and soup as side dishes. The sourness of the pickled vegetables alleviated the greasy taste of the eel. I really loved it! I really have to try it when I go to Sapporo! (The eel bones are crunchy but I don't dare to eat too much for fear of getting angry)(I ordered a bottle of wine but only drank two glasses (I didn't know the type of wine when I ordered it, but fortunately the waitress explained it to me. I can also speak a few words of Japanese. The three of us ate about 650RMB in total.
Near Tanukikoji. It looks inconspicuous, but tastes good, but a little expensive. It's basically eel rice. I don't know what the difference is, and the price difference is quite large. There is also barbecue, but it seems that reservations are required. I can't understand the menu, so I just ordered two kinds of rice based on the pictures. I feel that the difference is the amount of rice. The rice tastes really good. I still like the eel the most.
I went there at 1pm. There were too many people, and everyone lined up at the door. When I was wondering whether to line up, I found that they actually had takeout. I bought it without hesitation and ate it back at the hotel. The taste was really good, but it didn't seem to be as juicy as in China, and there were too few side dishes. The price was 2800 per serving. It was okay.
Waited about 20 minutes to taste this restaurant that only has eel. It is very famous in Japan. Recommended if you like eel. If you don't eat eel, there is no other choice here. All food is fresh - that is, the eel is grilled and served fresh, so the food is slow to arrive. Eating eel is a must-do for us in Sapporo in winter. After ordering, the waiting time for the food to arrive is about 15 minutes. The place can accommodate 20 to 25 people at a time, which is why the queue is always long. The store is on the first floor of the famous corner near the Mercure Sapporo. Very convenient.
