I saw smoke coming from the vent from the grilling of the eel wafting into the streets and that drew me in to this little Unagi eatery.

The unagi was so tender that it flaked off when I picked at it, with mild sauce to not overwhelm the natural flavour and texture.

I highly recommend this place if you want authentic unagi. Prices were very reasonable.

We had an amazing meal at this tiny gem of a restaurant. They make everything from scratch and the unagi is fresh and prepared in house.

Eel / unagi was very tasty as were the yakitori skewers. Couple that runs the restaurant were so friendly.
