Okumaya is celebrated for its high-quality, delicious grilled eel and unique tsukudani, often at a reasonable price. Diners appreciate the authentic flavors and the opportunity to enjoy these dishes at home.

"(Translated by Google) high quality eel
Large, thick eel with lots of fat and delicious.
It's also a very reasonable price.
The wife's personality is also good,
I will be visiting again for procurement soon.

Shigexile the First
"(Translated by Google) I took the train and walked to the store from Sawara, bought some delicious eel, and returned home. I simmered Shirayaki with sauce and served it with sake as an eel bowl. Both were excellent. The small fish and walnut tsukudani was also delicious. Since I visited in the hot weather, the owner even offered me Pocari Sweat. I would like to visit you again.

佐原からお店まで電車＆徒歩で出向いて美味しい鰻を買ってかえりました。白焼を酒の肴にタレで煮込んで鰻丼で頂きました。どちらも秀逸でした。小魚と胡桃の佃煮も美味しかったです。暑い中お伺いしたので店主さんがポカリスエットのサービスまでしてくれました。またお伺いしたいです。"
Yoshi Takada
"(Translated by Google) Shirayaki was reasonably priced, liver grilled outside the restaurant, and it was also delicious.
Only takeout, no eating or drinking in the store.

白焼はリーズナブル、肝焼きは店の外で焼いていて、これも美味しかったです。
持ち帰りのみで店での飲食不可。"
