A traditional Japanese eel/ Unagi restaurant in the 14th floor of the takashimaya department store. They don't take reservations, so go early and line up, because it's very popular and queue and wait time can be long. The food quality is excellent and pricy too. Recommend ordering the lunch set, which is quite good for the prize and it's filing. Highly recommend trying the Nagoya style Unagi lunch set menu, where you get to try the sweet Unagi rice bowl in three different style. Delicious concept and tummy satisfying 🀀😋. The food quality is great quality and filling as well. Since the demand is high, they tend to be fast pace, and the server may not give you full attention. Yet, they won't pressure you to chug your eel down, so they can turn the tables for the next customers. You can relax and savor every bit of that juicy sweet eel and rice. Highly recommend trying this Japanese authentic food delight at least once. A must go and try Japanese cuisine while in Japan!!

Good view, at the top floor of the building. Comfortable place for dinning, spacious, clean and tidy.

A lunch set includes almost everything that you may try for Unagi. A half Unagi is served on the rice. Side dishes are eel soup, Japanese pickles, a jar of soup for rice.

Unagi is not the best. It is a little bit soft and cold, texture not firm, not very tasty, however acceptable.

In fact, their lunch special is bargain and there will be a line of people queuing up. Price for the normal menu will be more than double of the lunch specials.

Went here to get a delicious bowl of unagi before heading to the narita express to fly home. The queue was super long. Good thing they had take out. It was pretty quick after ordering that I received the food. The unagi was tender and full of umami. The sauce was nicely balanced, not too sweet or salty. My only regret was not ordering the larger portion.
