One of the better grilled eel restaurant in Tokyo. For a faster service you can preorder grillled eel when making a reservation -that way it only takes less than 15 minutes for the food to arrive. I really love the decor.

Loved the downstairs seating as you see your food being prepped, these guys are masters at doing it their way, flavours are subtle so the natural oily aroma come through. Miso soup infused with smoky eel flavours rounded off a perfect lunch. The private dinning rooms upstairs are lush
