[2025 Narita Restaurant] Travel Guide for Kawatoyo Honten (Updated Apr)

There are many eel rice restaurants gathered in Naritasan Omotesando. This street is called Eel Street. As soon as you walk over, you can smell the aroma of grilled eel. However, "Kawafuyo" is the most famous one, and it is recommended by many locals and foreigners. - Look at the traditional Japanese architecture inside, go to the second floor (take off your shoes and put them in a bag to bring up to the second floor yourself), the menu is detailed, and every item on the table is introduced 👏🏻, without hesitation, I ordered a large eel rice & eel soup & eel tamagoyaki (I was determined not to order it and I would feel sorry for myself and I could finish it 👅) - The staff enthusiastically delivered the meal 👁 As soon as I opened the lunch box, the aroma of burnt, sauce, and fish~~~ really made me unable to stop. It was grilled just right, the fish meat was fresh, fat, tender and very easy to eat. Paired with Japanese white rice, it was not greasy at all. I wanted to eat more after finishing it🤣 - After filling my stomach, I reluctantly headed to the airport, and ended my trip with this absolutely amazing eel rice. I made a wish in my heart😝Next time I come, I will order more😳 #Japanese food #Tokyo food #Naritasan Omotesando #Kawafushi eel rice #eel

15 minutes from Narita Airport You can go shopping in the old street to buy food and souvenirs There are many places to buy pickles along the way There is also delicious sheep paste Matcha Ice Cream Visit Xinsheng Temple and pray for blessings Eat eel rice from a century-old restaurant Follow the aroma of grilled eel and you will see It's worth the queue Eel grilled until soft and served with soul sauce Definitely recommend delicious eel rice

#favouriteitinerary The most popular dish is Unagi no Kabayaki — eel fillets grilled over charcoal and basted with a sweet-savory tare sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. It’s typically served over rice in a lacquered box (called unadon or unaju). The smoky, caramelized flavor combined with the soft, tender eel makes it a must-try.

I totally recommend heading down to Narita Omotesando street in Chiba before departing Tokyo, Japan that’s just 1 stop from Narita Airport by train. You get to immerse yourself in the charming tradition and culture as you walk down the hilly road leading to the famous Naritasan temple. Apparently this street is famous for unagi (freshwater eel) as there’s plenty of shops selling grilled unagi but this particular store has the longest queue and largest crowd. You can witness the live eel skilfully slaughtered on one side, grilled with the special kabayaki sauce on the other side of the store. There’s dine in and takeaway options. Price starts from ¥2900 for a standard unagi rice box. #happylizzieeats #happylizzieexplores #japanhotels #japantravel #visitjapan #explorejapan #exploretokyo #japanfood #japanfoodie #tokyofood #tokyofoodie #japanesefood#foodstagram #foodblogger #malaysianfoodie #malaysiablogger #lifestyleblogger #travelblogger

#0yentripnovember Gourmet eel is a must-try when you come to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple☺️ Kawatoyo Honten is a very popular restaurant, so be prepared to wait. Fresh eel, kept fresh in well water, is butchered and grilled right in front of the store, An open kitchen style restaurant😋 The fragrant aroma of eel fills the air. The Zeiden sauce, which has been added since the restaurant opened, is not too sweet or spicy and really brings out the flavor of the eel, making it really delicious♪ I ordered Unaju for ¥2900 and Kimosui for ¥200. "How to wait at Kawatoyo Honten" When you arrive in front of the store, first get a numbered ticket and wait ⇩ You can check the call number at the store or on the website, so it's okay to leave the place ⇩ Tell them your preferred seat and wait further inside the store. *The stairs to the second floor are quite steep, so we don't recommend it for elderly people or those with children. Therefore, the second floor seats are more available. It was really delicious, so if you're interested, please go and try it 🥳 ——————————————————- 📍Location: 386 Nakamachi, Narita City, Chiba Prefecture 　　　　　　Located on the Omotesando road leading to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. 　　　　　　About a 12-minute walk from the east exit of Narita Station 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 💰Price per person: From ¥2900 #mayu✈️trip🇯🇵

Short business trip, I regretted going to Narita Airport Terminal 1 Eel restaurant 川豊　KAWATOYO It's a bit pricey, but the taste was really good! The eel rice bowl is divided into 3 levels, but the weight of the eel is different, so choose carefully ㅎㅎㅎ I ate the most expensive level, and I thought I was going to burst! 🥹#eelrestaurant #naritaairport #naritaairport

I had half a day to transit in Narita, Tokyo. I happened to see Narita Gion Festival, and there were tourists everywhere. There were many eel rice specialty stores in Narita Omotesando. It turned out that eating eel in Narita is very famous. Because Narita has many rivers and lakes. Among them, the century-old store "Kawafu Eel" has a long history. Many people come here to taste it. There is a long queue at the door. Due to the high demand, the staff keeps cutting and grilling eels in front of the shop. The taste is A++. The eel melts in your mouth. ## Food ## Foodie ## Overseas Travel ## Narita City

After eating Kawatoyo eel rice at Shinshoji Omotesando in Narita, it’s hard to find better eel rice than this one. I went to our restaurant first that day, but it was already closed. I found on the Internet that there are also branches nearby. It's still open, but it's a little further from the station. It takes about ten minutes to get there. I ordered the largest portion of eel rice (the largest portion in Japan really doesn't have a big portion😅😂). The eel was plump and thick. It has the aroma of kabayaki charcoal and is paired with delicious Japanese white rice🍚. It’s super enjoyable. I ordered more eel and tamagoyaki, which is just as delicious. It’s a beautiful ending to my last meal in Japan🔥 #narita #naritasanomoteesando #eel rice
