Situated in the rural scenery of Nankoku City, Kochi Prefecture, Kaidaya is a specialty restaurant where guests can savor Kansai-style jiyaki eel thoroughly grilled over charcoal. Prepared directly raw on the grill without any steaming process, the eel attains a delightfully crispy, fragrant skin and an amazingly tender, juicy interior. The crisp, refined sauce pairs wonderfully with freshly cooked local rice, and a dusting of refreshing Niyodogawa sansho pepper further enhances its rich aromatics. Notable favorites include the double-layered Tokujo Unaju, which features an extra layer of eel beneath the rice, and the shirayaki, which showcases the natural essence of the eel. Set in a standalone building with an iconic Cessna airplane on the premises, the spacious interior complete with tatami seating (zashiki) offers a pleasant, relaxing stop for lunch on a Kochi journey or road trip.
