Bantei Menu

Bantei, a hidden gem in Mito, Ibaraki, offers a menu packed with fresh, flavorful dishes that keep diners coming back for more. One of the standout items is the うな重 上 (Unaju Jo), a delicious eel dish served over rice. The perfectly grilled eel is tender and savory, making it a must-try for any visitor. If you're in the mood for something lighter, the うなぎ白焼き (grilled eel without sauce) is a fantastic choice, offering a pure and smoky flavor that highlights the eel’s natural taste.

For a refreshing starter, the Tomato Salad is a great way to kick things off, with its crisp, vibrant flavors that contrast nicely with the richness of the main dishes. If you're a fan of sashimi, the ヒラメ刺身 (flounder sashimi) and 刺し身 (assorted sashimi) will surely impress with their delicate textures and freshness. Pair your meal with sides like the 山菜 (wild mountain vegetables) and 筍とワカメのお吸い物 (bamboo shoot and seaweed soup), which provide a nice balance to the heavier flavors.

Finish off your meal with the 天重 (tempura rice bowl), a crispy delight that adds a touch of crunch to your dining experience. Whether you're indulging in eel or enjoying the lightness of tempura and sashimi, Bantei’s menu delivers a memorable culinary experience that celebrates the best of Japanese cuisine.
