Anago meshi ueno



Anago-meshi-Ueno is one of the most famous restaurants for anago-meshi, and has a history of more than 100 years.
The rice is large, but because it is cooked with conger eel ara, it is flavorful and tasty, and even women can eat it in small portions.
Because it tastes good even after it has cooled down, it can be enjoyed as a take-out dish.

Bento lunches are also very popular!

The restaurant, which always has a long line of customers, offers take-out bento boxes, so it is recommended to buy one on your way home and eat it on your way home. Reservations cannot be made for eating at the restaurant, but you can make reservations for take-out bento, making it convenient for those who do not like to wait to buy.
Of course, it tastes great even when cold.
It has a mysterious taste that soaks up extra flavor as it cools down and even makes you feel like it is delicious.

Fujiya



Fujitaya is the only restaurant on Miyajima to receive a Michelin star for its conger eel dishes.
We use only wild conger eel, which is baked to order and coated with sauce. The anago goes well with the sticky rice, giving it an exquisite flavor. The donburi is covered with a heavy wooden lid until just before serving, and the steaming time is also calculated to ensure the best flavor.
Waiting is essential, but it is recommended to get there early as they can sell out.

Don't forget the side dishes!



Pickled salmon roe in soy sauce and simmered conger eel liver are also popular as back dishes!
You can truly feel like you are on a trip from noon with beer, anago-meshi (conger eel rice), and seafood from the side menu.
