Uoi Honten is a must-visit destination for any food lover touring Osaka. Established in 1867, this eel specialty restaurant boasts a long history and a reputation for serving some of the finest eel dishes in the region.

Why Visit Uoi Honten?

1. Authentic Kansai-style Eel: Unlike the Kanto-style eel which is steamed before grilling, Kansai-style eel is grilled directly without steaming. This method gives the eel a distinct, crispy texture and a rich, smoky flavor that is truly unique.

2. Variety of Eel Dishes: From traditional Unaju (grilled eel over rice) to innovative dishes like smoked eel, Uoi Honten offers a wide range of options for both eel connoisseurs and first-time tasters.

3. Historical Charm: The restaurant's long history adds an extra layer of charm to your dining experience. You're not just enjoying a meal; you're partaking in a culinary tradition that spans over a century.

Getting to Uoi Honten

From Umeda: While Uoi Honten is conveniently located near Sekime-Takadono Station, it's a bit further from the Umeda and Namba areas. If you're coming from Umeda, please use the Tanimachi Line. The restaurant is just a short walk from the station.

From Namba: From Namba Station, you can either change trains at Umeda, or take the Sennichimae Line to Tanimachi Kyuchome, then switch to the Tanimachi Line to get to Sekime-Takadono Station. Access from Umeda or Namba can be a bit challenging due to the distance. However, if you find it difficult to reach, there are also restaurants located at Tenjinbashi 5-chome and Hanshin Umeda. You can enjoy the same taste there if access is difficult.


Whether you're an eel enthusiast or simply curious about Japanese cuisine, Uoi Honten offers an unforgettable dining experience. So why wait? Embark on your culinary adventure today!
