Unagi (grilled freshwater eel) is considered a delicacy, but this low-key and inviting eatery offers this luxurious dish as a quick and affordable meal. An unadon, grilled eel glazed with a sweet-savoury sauce over white rice, costs as little as ¥590.
For ¥1,100, you can get hitsumabushi, a speciality from Aichi prefecture which resembles the unaju (unagi served in a rectangular lacquer box) and should be enjoyed in two ways. First, you eat the eel and rice with a dash of wasabi. Then mix things up by pouring dashi broth into your rice and eat the unagi as you would ochazuke (a homely dish of broth and rice).
