Unagi Hashimoto

Unagi Hashimoto is a freshwater eel restaurant near the Yayoi Kusama Museum and the Natsume Soseki Museum in Edogawabashi, Tokyo. The eel is grilled and steamed in the traditional Edo style, using a sauce kept since the restaurant was founded. Reservations can be made online or by phone, and arriving around 12:30 means a 15 to 20 minute wait before being seated. Most seats at lunch are reserved, so walk-in guests are not guaranteed a table.
