Because food is so popular and famous Japanese society is very concerned with the quality, the dishes that distinguish one from the other Unagi is the reliability of the cook process.

This small restaurant does not stand out because it was in the basement of the building, but very popular. Like most restaurants in Japan, in the window of the restaurant’s cuisine is also plastered hitsumabushi imitation and a bowl of rice covered with a piece of grilled eel tempting brown.
The owner of the restaurant, Daisaku Wakita, said his restaurant stand 25 years ago and every day could sell 250 Unagi bowl. The amount is relatively high because the price is not cheap.
