Savor crispy, fragrant eel in three distinct stages: modern Japanese Nagoya cuisine unfolding underground in Sakae

- Dashi-infused umaki eel omelet
- Eel liver pairs excellently with sake
- Great for family dining
- Ideal for lunch during sightseeing or business trips
- Private rooms available for small groups
- Tatami and horigotatsu seating
- Within walking distance from Yabacho Station
Situated in the basement of Sakae Gas Building, a few minutes' walk from Yabacho Station, Shirakawa Sakae Gas Building specializes in Nagoya-style hitsumabushi eaten in three bowlfuls, altering the style with each step: as is, with condiments (yakumi), and as dashi (Japanese soup stock) chazuke. The eel features a crispy, fragrant skin and tender, fluffy flesh, harmonizing with a slightly sweet sauce and refined dashi. Following the dining instructions printed on the seaweed packet to experience the evolving flavors adds to the enjoyment. Fluffy umaki rich with dashi, creamy eel liver, and crispy hone-senbei (eel bone crackers) are well-received companions to sake and wine, making the restaurant well-suited for dinners with drinks. The interior features relaxing, Japanese-style lighting and is completely non-smoking, offering tatami seating (zashiki), horigotatsu (sunken table seating), and private rooms for small groups. Attentive hospitality, such as offering a refill of tea or dashi at just the right moment, is highly appreciated. The restaurant caters to a wide range of occasions, from family meals to lunch during sightseeing or business trips. While it is a popular destination that often draws lines, utilizing advance reservations or the online queuing system often leads to smooth seating.
