Qīng Dǎo Shí Táng - 瀬戸内市

The restaurant reviewed also operates a guesthouse, but meal-only reservations are also accepted. Since evening hours are by reservation only, it is recommended to visit during lunchtime if going without a reservation. Because it is a small, family-run establishment, there may be times when certain dishes are sold out. If the parking lot in front of the restaurant is full, the staff can guide you to another parking spot. I tried the eel rice bowl and it was impressive in terms of presentation and taste. Personally, I wished there was a bit more sauce. Overall, I felt this restaurant was worth visiting again, whether before or after visiting the olive grove nearby.

Visited in August 2020. I arrived around 45 minutes after the restaurant opened, but they were already sold out of the lower-priced option and only serving the higher-priced one to the first few customers. It was my first time at an eel specialty restaurant, and I was amazed at how delicious the eel was. The view of the ocean was also very beautiful.
