We came here on our first night in Tokyo because it was featured in the book Pretty Good Number One: An American Family Eats Tokyo with high praises and it didn’t disappoint. It is small, homey with a lovely atmosphere but beware! Bring cash, as they don’t take card or digital payment! Your starter budget would be ¥1800 which covers two waters, table charge for two and two skewers but be sure to bring more than that because this is a place to eat, drink and chat and you want to enjoy all the different Unagi (Eel) the ladies have to offer. We will absolutely come back here to make up for our poor planning and load up on Unagi goodness in the next few days!

It's my X times (can't remember) dinning here. The grilled eel was still very delicious. It's difficult to find a such delicated restaurant with different parts of eel, skin, neck, stomach, etc. Very worth to try!

My favorite are ginkgo and eel’s fin.

For guests who are not speaking Japanese, you can get a set for 5 skewers first, including different parts of eel. There’s a picture hanging on the wall showing the parts.

The Very Best place to have eel skewers for eel lovers. Same owner runs Miharu and Kawajirou.

I want to eat eel in Nakano.
Speaking of eel skewers, go to Jiro Kawa.
The exterior of the store is perfect for the taste of an expert.
Some say there are many delicious things about this picture.

A simple style with a counter and one table on the second floor.
When you sit down, they will grill you 5 skewers by default.
It's like asking for additional items that you like.
There are other types of eel skewers besides the 5, so it's fun to order them.
Come to think of it, all my life I had only eaten eel with sauce, so when I learned that salted eel was delicious, I realized even more the potential of eel.
From now on, my body can no longer live without salt eel. It has become.

However, the sauce is really good.

And it's too bad that I can't remember the name of the eel skewer.

It's Mr. Gotiso!
