諏訪湖のほとり、何軒か飲食店が入っている建物の2階です。夜に伺いましたが、夜は予約必須のようです。ソースカツ丼とロースソースカツ丼をいただきました。ブランド豚のカツは厚みがすごいのですが、想像を超えるやわらかさ。ジューシーで柔らかく、脂身の嫌なギトギト感は全くありません。ロースもこれまで食べた中で最も柔らかいんじゃないか！？っというぐらいやわかくて美味しかったです。無言で食べてしまいました。サイズは小、上、大っと選べますが、女性でしたら小でもお腹いっぱいになるかと思います。男性でも上で相当お腹いっぱいになります。諏訪に行ったら、ぜひ立ち寄りたいお店です。

I am completely satisfied with their quality food that are the outcomes of their extremely high cooking skills and techniques to serve eel at its best. Once we start working on their dishes, no one was hardly able to chat each other. Their high quality, elegant and extremely tasty dishes made us forget about everything but we all focused on our act of eating! Yes, the dishes are not very cheap (30-USD or so for a bowl of rice topped with baked eel) but I definitely recommend you visit and enjoy their dishes. It will be unforgettable experience!The only reason for not giving the full five stars is due to lack of smile. I think the master is a man of full discipline and it should be one way to maintain high standards of the products. However, probably due to this management style, I felt the employees in the shop are a bit nervous and less friendly relative to normal shops in the region. I could be totally wrong with the reason behind. However, customers will have full satisfaction if this minor point is improved because they do excellent job to serve high quality foods.

お盆の時期（諏訪花火大会）の平日開店10分前に到着。10組以上の先客あり。1組前の客で満席になったため、30分程度待たされ、座敷のテーブル席に案内される。子供の分を注文しなかったら、子供用の白飯のみも注文できると言われた。先付け、吸い物、漬物付き、鰻重上をオーダー。人気の理由が分かる程の美味しさ。ただ、行列がなければリピートしたい。

Have you ever noticed differences of the way to cook Unagi between Tokyo (kanto) and Osaka (Kansai)?Tokyo style unagi is cut from back and steamed. The other hands, osaka style one is cut from belly and never steamed, charcoal-broiled unagi.In Nagano esp. Okaya, my hometown cooks different, blending way between Tokyo and osaka. Cut from back charcoal-broiled unagi that allowed unagi make it crispy skin and fluffy fresh. Sauce is bit sweeter than the other area's one. So if you don't like too much sweetness, I recommend you to order unagi teishoku. Sauce never poured on top of rice:) Try liver with hot sake is perfect marriage as well.

We drove to have lunch at Kankohso Okaya after reading good reviewsfrom TripAdvisor and indeed, we enjoyed the delicious Unagi. It was our besteel rice ever had before. The staff was very helpful n tried her best to explain to us in her simple English. The lady boss came to greet us n took photos togetherwith her camera. Their service was excellent n we will come back again.
