Unagiya Hirokawa is a unagi-specialty restaurant located in Arashiyama, steps away from the famed Tenryu-ji Temple. There is a perpetual line outside this one-Michelin starred restaurant – we arrived just after 11:30am to find ourselves behind a long queue, and eventually waited 1.5 hours before we got seated. Was it worth the wait? Yes, but I think next time I will book in advance by paying a 1,000 yen reservation fee…

中午，到うなぎ屋廣川吃鳗魚飯。才剛過11:30，門口卻已大排長龍，最後我們等了一個半小時才得以入內。值得嗎？太值得了（反正也熱到無法在外走動）。廣川人氣居高不下的原因，除了它有米其林一星以及食べログ關西區鳗魚飯第一名的評價之外，位于天龍寺旁的地點非常方便，很多遊客都會慕名而來。其實後來發現只要支付1000日元的預約費就可以事先訂位，大家可以參考一下。

Here’s the Unagyu Set (3,900 yen), composed of the unagi rice plus a few side dishes. Hirokawa uses eels farmed in Japan, which are priced for their superior texture and flavor, and grills them with a secrete recipe sauce passed down from over 170 years ago. The eel is delicate, fatty just to the right extent, in combination with the sweet and savory sauce and  perfectly cooked rice…just wow.

總而言之，我們等了一個半小時後坐了下來，二話不說點了うな重定食（3,900日幣）。先來說說鳗魚飯本身。廣川采用的是日本國産養殖鳗魚，相較台灣或著菲律賓産的鳗魚價格較高，而且搭配的醬料配方據說已經有170年的曆史。細嫩肥美的鳗魚、甘甜不膩的醬汁、搭配粒粒分明的米飯，完美融合的實在太、好、吃、了。雖然我平時非常討厭等位，不過一口鳗魚飯下去後，立刻覺得剛才的等待都是值得的。
