We actually stumbled upon this restaurant by accident. We were looking on how we would walk back to our hotel right outside the restaurant right as they were opening. A group of locals asked if we were in line and formed a line behind us. That line prompted us to go in and try. It is a unagi restaurant. We had their nori ochazuke, oyakodon and unagi don. Delicious! Cozy - happy we were able to remove our shoes. The food was very comforting and the service was really good.

They have fillet dojou nabe which would be good for customers who have ever experienced dojou before. Good service and very quaint inside and outside. Highly recommended if you are in Asakusa or Kappabashi area.

I came with a tourist for an experience! We liked the Edo style dishes which are offered here. Including, the famous Dozeu and Unagi.
