「Unagi-tei Tomoei (うなぎ亭 友栄)」, nestled near Hakone’s gateway in Odawara, is renowned for its uncompromising dedication to premium blue eel (青うなぎ) which makes up only about 2% of total eel harvest. Tomoei sources only the top-tier blue eel, or eels that match its quality, prized for their thick, fatty flesh, delicate skin, and superior melt-in-mouth texture. Each eel is kept alive in tanks fed by 100 m-deep volcanic spring water—same “Miyamizu” cherished by local sake breweries—until it’s grilled right after ordering.

This careful selection and preparation result in an unagi experience that’s richly flavorful, yet refined—thick and buttery body, crisp charcoal-kissed exterior, and a sauce that enhances rather than overwhelms. One of my favorite unagi experiences around Japan.

in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

little bit off the town of odowara, between tokyo and shizouka is this famous unagi shop, known for the specially farmed unagi for lunch. they accept phone reservations for unagi couple months ahead of time, or you could also walk-in relatively early to reserve a spot and wait in line for a table. we arrived around 10:15am (they open at 10am), and got seated around 11am.

their unajyu was indeed very enjoyable, unagi itself was so so plump and melts in your mouth upon each bite. really like their tare too, it wasn’t overly sweet nor too viscous, but it got slightly cloying after half the bowl because of how fatty the unagi was. the set was served with unagi innard dashi and pickles which were enjoyable also. a great unajyu lunch spot to try, worth the treck if you have onward journey plans into shizouka or en route to ryokan in the izu direction.
