Worth it?
Cheap, cash only and with seats for just six, Sengyo Uotoyo is for eel fans rather than groups. The family-run shop grills Kansai-style eel over binchotan charcoal, crisp outside and fluffy inside, and creators highlight it as a small business that perfects a few simple recipes. Bring yen, and come alone or as a pair if you want to sit. It fits neatly into a walk through Kuromon Market.
Before you go
- Carry cash; the shop does not take cards.
- Seating is limited to six, so small parties have the best chance.
- Order the grilled eel, cooked over binchotan charcoal.
- For ramen another day, Mugito Mensuke is also on the Osaka list.
