Honke Shibato

Eel rice is delicious, but the price is heartbreaking. The most cost-effective way to eat it is to have a set meal at noon on a weekday. Although the eel in the set meal is smaller than that in the evening, the sauce and cooking method are the same, making it the most economical and affordable choice.

Our shop is located at Chuo 2-5-2 Koraibashi 541-0043, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. The service attitude of the waiters is very good. They are all attentive and courteous. The menu has multiple language options. I ordered an eel, the fish was fresh and tender, and the rice was Each piece absorbed the eel juice and it was very delicious. You must try it when you come to Osaka!

Shibato's eel rice! At that time, I saw that many people recommended this century-old store. It is said that it is already the 15th generation and has a very long history! We went at noon, so there were seats available without making a reservation. If you want to go at night, it's best to make a reservation. Because it is baked to order, you have to wait 20-30 minutes after placing your order. Osaka grilled eel rice bowl (medium portion) costs 4120 yen (about 254 RMB). Although it only has four pieces of grilled eel on the top, there are actually four other pieces in the middle of the rice, which is quite a lot! The eel is bright in color, very tender in texture, with no bones at all, and is very delicious when grilled. The rice is also very delicious. The rice grains are clearly defined and very delicious. The Shibato grilled eel three-course meal (small portion) is 3120 yen (about 191 yuan). This is the three-course eel: eat it as it is, add nori, wasabi, and green onion. Eat it later and add chazuke rice to the second way of eating! These ways of eating make the taste richer and relieve the greasiness of the sauce.

The location is easy to find. It opens at 11:00 noon. We went there half an hour early. The clerk kindly suggested that we go to the nearby Family Mark first. When we came back, it was exactly 11:00 and there were not many customers. In order to experience the Japanese way of eating, we chose the Tatami Room and ordered the most recommended three-course steamed fish rice. The tableware was very delicate and the taste was even better. It was super delicious and very satisfying!

Honke Chaiteng is an old shop established in 1713. The eel rice is fat but not greasy, and the eel liver soup is light but delicious. In addition, the wooden barrel tableware is also special. The queue is very long. Most of the people in the queue are Chinese, but there are also a small number of locals.

Honke Shibato, founded during the Tokugawa Yoshimune era of the Edo period, is a long-established establishment. It's located in a small, ground-floor shop in Yodoyabashi, Osaka. I took the elevator to a Japanese-style room, sat down in my slippers, and was surrounded by elderly men who had just finished get off work. I ordered three different types of eel rice, a regular eel rice, and a small eel omelet. The women were all smiling and it was so heartwarming. The eel rice took quite a while to get, but when the omelet arrived, I realized I should have ordered a larger one. The soft, tender egg wrapped around the eel was incredibly delicious. After the eel rice arrived, the woman brought out the menu and re-trained me on how to eat it, hahaha. I caught a glimpse of a man at a table to my left, leisurely sipping a beer. So relaxed.
