First time making reservation via Google map and it was easy to modify as I have to reschedule our travel plan a few times.

Instead of going for Hitsumabushi which is not quite our cup of tea, we ordered the traditional Unagi Kabayaki set and a side of Unagi Shirayaki, both were delicious though I would prefer it to be a bit more moist inside.

The restaurant always have a queue outside waiting for table without reservation, and the interior is very well decorated with beautiful wood panels.

Great for casual lunch while shopping in the area.

Arrived a little before 1130 on a weekday, and we are the last table without having to wait.

Promptly seated and ordered a Miyabi set at 8k JPY.

Totally worth the experience with the Unagi served in multiple ways. The main rice dish is meant to be had in 3 ways also each with its distinctive flavour.

Mostly visitors from outside of Japan from what I can observe. Understandable given the location and staffs speak very good English with English menu so not being a local isn’t a problem at all.

Recommended.
