Unagi Komagata Maekawa Marunouchi Branch
Dating back to the Edo period, Unagi Komagata Maekawa offers the signature “Maekawa taste” only a minute’s walk from Tokyo Station.
Restaurant Details
With its rich, fatty and complex flavor, unagi — freshwater eel — is one of Japan’s greatest luxuries.
Having been in business for 220 years, Maekawa is one of the most storied unagi restaurants in Japan. For over two centuries, their signature dishes have remained fundamentally untouched, particularly the secret sauce. As such, each bite is a demonstration of perfect culinary harmony, with hot rice and fluffy, crispy eel.
Furthermore, as the Japanese eel is considered an endangered species, Maekawa uses its own traditional farming methods to sustainably and humanely them, creating the most natural environment for them to grow.
Though still deeply traditional at their core, it cannot be said that Maekawa has failed to keep up with the times. The restaurant has recently caused a stir with its hand-selected wine pairings, particularly Spanish wine. While unagi and wine remain an unorthodox pairing, Maekawa has single-handedly piqued interest in the concept, and sees reservations growing by the day.
The Shin-Marunouchi building is located only a minute walk away from Tokyo Station ー for travelers, it’s a great place to stop before hopping on the shinkansen. Table seating means that the restaurant is well suited for traveling families with children as well.

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!
