Una-fuji

i had a very lovely grilled eel (unagi) meal here!

i first booked via tabelog, but the shop cancelled my reservation, and left a message that they couldn't contact me by phone. then i booked again and stated to contact by email only since i was using a roaming data card in japan. finally it went fine with the booking.

the set was chosen in advance when i booked online. it was a very full set with appetizers, eel bowl and dessert; that's very deluxe for a lunch set.

there were 9 things to eat from the appetizer platter. the shirako, crab rice ball and oyster were amazing. each food they cooked it individually, and each had its unique flavour.

then it came the main star of the set - the eel bowl. it was made to order so came as very hot and full of steam! smelled really good. the eel was just cooked and very juicy in the middle with crispy grilled edge. i'd say it tasted good even without the sauce! it went so well with the japanese local rice. then the set ended up by a almond pudding.

the staff did come up and apologies for cancelling the booking, can tell their sincerity and no worries, it was all fine ;)

it's a great place for eel bowl and i definitely recommend it.

Good~!!

Visited for the first time during lunch time on Doyo's Day of the Ox.

In order to have a daily reward and to nourish my energy to survive the midsummer heat, I took the initiative and ordered the special eel rice bowl.

From the moment you put it in your mouth, the meat is so soft that it melts without even having to chew, and the sauce is fragrant and goes perfectly with the rice. I was so happy that I wanted to keep it in my mouth for a long time, and it was so delicious that I didn't want to finish eating it ☺︎

Next time I would like to visit the night session as well.

I was surprised to see the autographs of famous people near the cash register at checkout.

It was a very delicious dish.
It wasn't just the eel jus, but everything from appetizers to shirayaki, skewers, a la carte dishes, and desserts was all very crowded. I made a reservation in advance and visited on a weekday night, so I was able to spend a relaxing time without having to wait. I was also very satisfied with the staff's service. The restaurant is often full on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and many customers make reservations in advance to visit the restaurant on both weekends and weekdays.

This is my favorite and highly recommended eel restaurant.

Matsu course only available on weekday nights ✨
It was a great value course where you could enjoy a delicious eel dish little by little.

There were also many other menu items that were only available for weekday lunch, so I'd like to try those next time.

Especially the eel bowl.
Limited to weekdays? (Or it's a little cheaper only on weekdays)
4300 yen including tax.

I hear it's a pretty popular store. So I rushed at opening time.
There is no nearby station.
I can walk as much as I want, so I can't read the time on the bus.
Walk...

It's more than a 30 minute walk from the nearest station! (lol)

I had no choice but to take a bus from Ogikubo Station.
At the stop where you get off, you say, ``This is Unagi-no-Unafuji.''
I laughed when he said that.
Is it a famous store that represents the local area?

Arrived 2 minutes after opening time.
There's no one there...
The store clerk also came out (lol)

No, when I called, he came out (lol)
At that time, there was a following customer behind me.

For the aforementioned special eel bowl served in front of the store.
The atmosphere inside the store is good.

It said it would take about 15 minutes.
It didn't come out even after 20 minutes.
When it got close to 25 minutes and I felt a little ...
It came out (happy)

oh! This look is amazing!
You don't have to eat it to know. It's delicious.
Well, I'll eat it.

Would you like a large serving of rice? I was asked
(It looks like it's a free service)
I hesitated for a moment, but decided on the normal size.
I heard that subsequent customers were getting large portions.
I was a little disappointed, but I had enough food.
The best amount for balance.

That's because the eel itself is this big.
That's natural... (relief)

Horse horse. Completed the meal in no time. I'm full but I want to eat more... (in my mood)
It's been a while since I ate really delicious eel.

It's a pain to go, but I'll go again.
Thank you for the meal.
