(Translated by Google) Mid-July 2025, first visit, rain or shine
A restaurant highly praised by a man from Kagoshima Prefecture
It was lunchtime, and I walked past the extremely crowded Unagi no Sueyoshi,
and discovered the Yamagen sign along a semi-roadside store.
However,
there were few people around from the outside...
To be honest. I hesitated twice to enter the restaurant when I was standing in front of the door (crying)
My order remained the same,
so I only had one choice.
"Unagi-ju (Matsu)": ¥3,980-tax included
▼The aforementioned long-established and extremely popular restaurant "Unagi no Sueyoshi (Tenmonkan)"
Compared as follows:
① The eel sauce is "moderately" sweet
② The "liver sui" is a refreshing "clear" style
③ The eel fillets are "thick" (a little)
④ The meat is cooked well (slightly burnt)
⑤ There is "free space" in the bento (is the amount small?)
⑥ Semi-private space. Families and groups can relax here
⑦ Parking available on the premises (free!)
⑧ Price comparison "Unagi-ju (Matsu)" *Both prices include tax
▪︎Sueyoshi: ¥3,250-
▪︎Yamagen: ¥3,980-
The "Osumisashi (soup/with liver)" is also delicious and has a traditional Japanese feel.
It's within walking distance of Kagoshima Chuo Sta., but there are few people around.
[Overall Review (Personal Opinion)]————
▼"Unagi no Sueyoshi"▼
It's located in the "Tenmonkan" area, the largest entertainment district in southern Kyushu, so it's easy for tourists from outside the prefecture to find and visit.
Also, the reasonable price < "Unagi-ju (Matsu)": ¥3,250-> is good, and I think it's spurring it on.
▼"Unagi no Yamagen"▼
The taste and texture are not too sweet, making it easy for tourists from outside the prefecture to eat.
However, it's not too sweet, so it's easy to eat even for tourists from outside the prefecture. In the "fiercely competitive" Kagoshima City,
it lacks value for money.
It also has "free parking,"
so it's convenient,
but its location is a bit unfortunate for tourists from outside the prefecture.
So,
even though the food is good,
it was empty at lunchtime, right?

2025/7/中旬 雨天決行で初訪問
鹿児島県内の男性が、大絶賛したお店
昼時につき
超絶ごった返す
『うなぎの末よし』を横目に歩き、
準ロードサイド店沿いの
『やまげん』看板を発見。
但し、
外観からも人影まばら....。
正直な処。ドア前にて
入店を2度も悩みました(泣
私の注文は変わらず、
一択。
『鰻重(松)』 : ¥3,980-税込
▼前述•老舗の超絶人気店
『うなぎの末よし(天文館)』
比較で記すと、以下の通り。
①うなぎのタレは、甘さ”控えめ”
② 『肝すい』は、スッキリ"お澄まし"仕立て
③うなぎの切身に"厚み"あり(少々)
④焼き加減は、しっかりめ(若干コゲあり)
⑤お重内に"空きスペース"有 (量は少ない?)
⑥半個室空間。家族連れやGroupもゆったり
⑦敷地内に、駐車場あり(無料!)
⑧ 価格比較『鰻重(松)』 ※共に税込
▪︎末よし: ¥3,250-
▪︎やまげん: ¥3,980-
“お澄まし(椀/肝入り)”も、割烹的で美味。
鹿児島中央sta.徒歩圏内ですが、
人影まばら。
【 総評(あくまでも私見) 】————
▼『うなぎの末よし』▼
南九州最大の歓楽街
『天文館』エリアにある為、
県外観光客にも
把握しやすく通いやすい。
また、
値ごろ感 < 『鰻重(松)』: ¥3,250-> 有
拍車を掛けている気がします。
▼『うなぎのやまげん』▼
お味や食感は、
県外観光客にも甘すぎず、食べやすい。
但し、日本一のうなぎ産地
かつ "激戦区"の鹿児島市内では、
"値ごろ感"に欠ける点。
また“無料駐車場”完備とあり
便利ですが、
県外観光客には少々不憫な立地。
その為、
お味は良いのに
昼時空いていたのでは?
