Tokyo's Hidden Gem for Unagi Don!! Delicious and Budget-Friendly.

Discovered an amazing unagi (eel) restaurant in Tokyo! The eel is freshly grilled over a wood fire upon order, resulting in a crispy, aromatic exterior and tender, juicy interior. One bite and you'll be hooked! Besides their signature unagi don, the restaurant also offers mouthwatering skewers and refreshing side dishes that are sure to delight your taste buds. Highly recommend their cucumber and eel salad! The soft eel paired with crunchy cucumber creates a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors, making it both appetizing and refreshing. The best part? It's super affordable at just 580 yen! As for the main dish, you must try the shirayaki eel with unaju. The eel's evenly distributed fat ensures a rich aroma and flavor even without dipping it in sauce, allowing the natural taste of the ingredients to shine. The restaurant's decor exudes traditional Japanese charm, with warm yellow lighting and wooden furniture creating a cozy atmosphere. The staff are attentive and friendly, making the dining experience incredibly pleasant. For just 6,500 yen, I enjoyed a full set including unagi don, crispy fish bone crackers, cucumber and eel salad, skewers, and a drink. The value is unbeatable, making it perfect for students and those on a budget. Can't wait to bring friends along for a second visit!
