Very delicious unagi rice, normal size ¥4500, double layer size ¥9500 serve with soup and Japanese pickles. You must try once in a life time.

What a great experience. Here is the gist. Line up early - about an hour ahead in Sunday was enough to be one of the first few people. They will take your order in line before you enter. They do not speak much / any English but people will help you - they're all very friendly. If you arrive late they will take your order and tell you to come back. Order a beer or sake and you will get a few nibbles while you wait for your eel. It's more than worth it. My eel was prepared from live and was easily the best I've ever had. They do not over sauce it and they take their time while making it. The owner chef has been cooking eel for 40 years and is very friendly but doesn't speak English.

A small unagi restaurant recommended by my Japanese friend. It was not crowded when we arrived. They only serve unagi rice set. With a standard, special or double set. I must say this has to be the best unagi I have ever eaten so far. The unagi melts in the mouth. What I also liked is the very light taste of the sauce. I believe this is the Kanto style unagi where it is steamed before grilling. The price is on the higher side but it is worth it! Highly recommended!

Stumbled upon this restaurant while walking to the mall. Amazing unagi restaurant run by an elderly couple. Unagi was soft and creamy filled with umami flavour. We arrived at 11.20am and got our food at 11.50am.

After researching Tablelog's 100 best Unagi restaurants, Unazen (distinct from the Fukuoka establishment of the same name) was the only one that fit my itinerary. Upon entering, we were greeted by a hospitable chef who asked us to wait briefly. The restaurant was clearly a small operation, staffed by just the male chef and an older woman who served as the waitstaff. The dining room was full of older Japanese customers, which I took as a promising sign of an authentic unagi experience. We and one other group were the only foreigners present. The food itself was excellent. The unagi was plump and melted in my mouth like butter; you could tell the chef had put a lot of care into preparing it. I could really taste the dedication. However, the service was a significant letdown. The elderly server had quite an attitude. For example, she placed our Unagidon on the table with a force that felt almost aggressive, which contrasted sharply with the typically courteous service one expects in Japan. This felt particularly odd, and I wondered if it was because we were younger than the other patrons or because we were foreigners. To provide some context, members of our group could speak and understand a moderate amount of Japanese. At such a high price point, and with the restaurant only accepting cash, the poor service significantly detracted from the overall experience.
