Only 9 9-minute drive from Naha Airport. It is an eel specialty restaurant that will open on February 17, 2024, in Kumoji, Naha City. It is located behind the only department store in Naha, Department Store Liubou, across the river for easy access. The pulled eel is reasonably priced at 2,600 yen for a pineapple. If you are tired of Okinawan food or hamburgers, it is the eel.
Point 1: Behind the department store Liubou! What is the location of “Unagi no Naruse Naha”?
Unagi no Naruse Naha Branch” is an eel specialty restaurant located in Kumoji, the center of Naha City.
It is across the river from Okinawa’s only department store, Liubo, and a 3-minute walk from Kencho-mae station on the Yui Rail Line. There is also that Italian restaurant “4KLETT (Secret)” with the pink door nearby!
I wondered if there were other stores in Naha, and was surprised when I checked the website. I checked the website and to my surprise, there is another store in Okinawa in Tomigushiro City, which is a nationwide chain.
There is another shop in Tomigushiro City in Okinawa.
You can’t say, “Why come to Okinawa to eat eel?
It is hot all year round in Okinawa, so let’s replenish your energy and nutrition with eel!
Point 2: Introduction of the menu of “Unagi no Naruse Naha Branch”.
There are three types of Unaju at “Unagi no Naruse”: pine, bamboo, and plum.
The three types are very simple: ume (1,600 yen) with 0.5 eels and 220g of rice, bamboo (2,200 yen) with 0.75 eels and 250g of rice, and pine (2,600 yen) with 1 eel and 260g of rice.
The thick, fluffy eel, cooked in the Kanto style, has a rich, mellow flavor that will make you forget you are eating at a chain restaurant!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that such eels can be had for about half the market price, which has truly caused a “revolution” in the world of Unaju.
Point 3: Why is the Unaju at “Unagi no Naruse Naha” so inexpensive?
Unaju at “Eel Naruse” is 2,600 yen for pine, which is very reasonable compared to the market price of Unaju.
Is it safe to eat so cheaply? However, the eels are Japanese eels purchased from a specific eel farm and are not from China.
Okinawa is surrounded by the sea and has a well-developed air transportation system, which makes it easy to distribute delicious seafood, but here at “Eel Naruse,” we can lower the price by purchasing large quantities from a specific eel farm.
So there is no need to give up on one eel and cut it in half because it is out of your budget!
Although it is a nationwide chain restaurant, “Unagi no Naruse” has a very good reputation, so please visit it once.
