What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A celebrated eel restaurant near Kotesashi Station, famous for the owner's mastery of both Kanto-style (steamed then grilled) and Kansai-style (direct-grilled) preparation over a single flame — a rare dual-blade technique. Domestic eels from Nishio, Aichi, are grilled over binchotan charcoal and finished with a 50-year-old continuously replenished tare sauce. The tranquil, ink-painting-decorated interior creates a serene, special-occasion atmosphere. Selected for Tabelog Unagi Top 100 four times (2018, 2019, 2022, 2024) and awarded Tabelog Award Bronze. Tabelog 3.69, 287 reviews, 22,054 saves. Half-portion Unaju available from ¥4,400. 6-min walk from Kotesashi Station South Exit.

Reviews consistently praise: a rare experience where you can compare Kanto and Kansai preparation styles, perfect contrast of fluffy flesh and crispy skin, the 50-year tare adds extraordinary depth, four-time Top 100 selection is no coincidence — the best eel in Tokorozawa. Tabelog Award Bronze winner. Tabelog 3.69, 287 reviews, 22,054 saves. No PR deals. No fake review indicators.
