Nestled close to Ito Station, this hidden gem specializes in unagi (grilled eel). The calm atmosphere, centered around a counter, features smooth jazz, creating a modern vibe that sets it apart from typical traditional unagi restaurants. The unagi is carefully steamed and grilled in the Kanto style, resulting in a fragrant exterior and an astonishingly fluffy texture inside. What makes it particularly unique is the use of real wasabi instead of the usual sansho pepper, enhancing the rich flavor of the eel's fat while leaving a refreshing aftertaste. The menu is concise, reflecting a dedication to quality ingredients and craftsmanship. Since the owner manages everything alone, there may be a wait for your meal, but this anticipation only heightens the experience. This is a highly recommended spot for those looking to savor high-quality unagi in Ito at a leisurely pace.
