Experience unagi excellence in Narita with Matabee's lauded grilled and steamed eel specialties, blending culinary artistry in a tranquil setting.

Restaurant Details

Matabee Funakata is a hidden gem nestled near Inbanuma in the tranquil outskirts of Narita, offering a distinctive unagi (eel) dining experience. Known for its excellent eel cuisine, the restaurant allows you to choose between two unique cooking styles: grilled, which gives a tantalizing crispy edge, and steamed, delivering melt-in-your-mouth softness. Their signature dish is the large unaju, a harmonious blend of flavorful eel with perfectly cooked rice, topped with a subtly sweet tare sauce.


Accessible by car, due to its secluded location, the restaurant's interior reflects a retro Showa-era diner charm with four tables and a cozy counter, suitable for both intimate gatherings and solo voyages.


Matabee Funakata offers the freshest loach and local seafood, celebrated in dishes like dojo karaage, which impresses with its small, flavorful delight, and absence of any unwanted taste.


Located in Chiba Prefecture, near the serene Inbanuma, the restaurant thrives under the guidance of a chef whose skills transform both farmed and seasonal wild eel into a culinary art.


Their courteous service staff is dedicated to ensuring a memorable dining experience, making this refined unagi destination one that guests return to time and again, eager to immerse themselves in its culinary charm.
