Arakawa is a well-established eel restaurant near Kamaguchi Bridge on the Tenryu River in Okaya, Nagano Prefecture, dating back to 1912. Known for its crispy-skinned and fluffy-inside grilled eel, Arakawa uses a sweet, secret sauce. Located a 15-minute walk southeast of Okaya Station and near Okaya Lakeside Park, it offers both table and tatami seating with views of Lake Suwa. Be aware that they only accept cash. It's best to arrive early, as they may close before the stated time if they run out of eel.
