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.

うな重松、肝すいに変更し注文。タレが濃いらしいが、そのまま注文。一口目、驚き。甘く、濃く、カリカリ。関東の柔らかあっさりが好きだが、ここはありです。旨い。味変のドレッシングは使わず最後まで美味しく頂きました。食後の玄米茶も〆によい。

諏訪湖から天竜川になる場所釜口水門にある、外観は食堂と思わせるうなぎ屋さんです。味は甘めのタレですが凄く美味しかったです。昼間のみの営業みたいで、１３時までには入店した方が良いと思います。１４時には品切れで閉店になる可能性があるみたいです。夜は営業していません。

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.

近くの市立岡谷美術考古館の展示を見たあと、お昼ご飯に寄りました。
メニューは少ないのですが、ひっきりなしにお客さんが入ってきて、繁盛しているお店見たいですね。限定メニューの黒酢黒ゴマの冷やし担々麺と奨められた焼売を注文しました。ちょっと値段は張るけど、見た目以上にボリュームがあります。お酢も変な後味もなくサッパリ。焼売はちょっと大きめで、醤油よりもテーブルにあるお酢のほうがさらにおいしさ引き立ててくれるかも。ラーメン屋というよりも、お手軽な中華料理屋な感じでとても満足して店を出ました。

うな重と特重のねだんは300円しか変わらないので特重を食べましたが、肉厚でほくほくしてておいしかったです。ランチタイムの最後のお客になりましたが嫌な顔もせず接客して頂きました。お店の人に岡谷駅を過ぎたところにある鶴嶺公園でツツジ祭りが開催中で見頃と教えてもらったので寄ってみたけど本当に見たこともないようなツツジにビックリしました。

コスパがいい岡谷にある美味しい焼肉屋さんです。
一人前の量が多いので、女子二人で行くとあまり食べられません。
野菜を茹でて食べる鉄板が面白いです。
味も美味。
