Eel Shop Sakebo-Esho Echigoya
This eel deal is a steal: top unagi dining in under an hour away from Tokyo
Restaurant Details
If a restaurant has been featured on national TV, that has to be a sign that they're worth trying, even just out of curiosity. Those that dropped by Sakebo-Esho Echigoya in Saitama after the broadcast have not regretted the decision because they have discovered one the best eel specialty restaurants in all of Japan.
Some restaurants offer only one style of unagi preparation, while at Sakebo-Esho Echigoya they offer both Kanto-style and Kansai-style. The chef will let the customers choose their desired method and prepare it accordingly. The unagi rice bowl is definitely a staple to try here.
Serving just the same quality of eel as more upscale unagi dishes, Sakebo-Esho Echigoya's eel dishes are definitely great value for money.

10 meals
COURSE MENUToshima Manryo Ichigetsuan
Enjoy traditionally-prepared unagi dishes in this Odawara restaurant, housed in a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. Toshima Manryo Ichigetsuan uses exclusively blue-backed “ao-unagi” eels, said to account for only 10 percent of mature eels.
COURSE MENUMARUICHI FUJI AKASAKA (formerly Nyorosuke Akasaka)
Rather than steam the eel first in Kanto style, this famed Akasaka unagi specialist upholds Kansai tradition by going straight into grilling the eel for a crispier, crunchier texture.
COURSE MENUAzabujuban Hanabusa
This Tokyo restaurant sources its eels from unagi farmers in Isshiki Town, who have raised them in an all-natural environment for over 100 years. The unagi are then coated in a secret sauce, before being grilled Kansai-style over a charcoal flame.
COURSE MENUNyorosuke Roppongi
At Nyorosuke, you can experience authentic Kansai-style charcoal grilled eel dishes such as grilled eel skewers, unaju and unagi-don. Unlike most Tokyo-style eel restaurants, the eel here is not steamed—meaning it’s bursting full of flavor!
