WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Founded in 1935 and still occupying the same spot outside Kamata West Exit, Susuki has quietly tended its craft across nearly nine decades: eel grilled over charcoal and lacquered with a secret sauce that has been built up and replenished across generations.
Unaju is served in the 3,000 to 4,000-yen range — far more affordable than comparable eel houses in central Tokyo — and that union of quality and price is why the neighbourhood has kept coming back for close to a century.
The lunchtime queues that form without fail, 608 Tabelog reviews, and a Yahoo!
Maps rating of 3.99 confirm what Kamata already knows: this is not just a restaurant, but a piece of the neighbourhood's own story.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedEstablished 1935 (Showa 10). A beloved unagi (eel) institution on Kamata's west side, standing for nearly 90 years beside the Tokyu line elevated tracks. A time-honored tare sauce passed down through generations creates a deep, rich glaze.
"Unagi at this price from a nearly 90-year establishment." "The tare sauce carries the depth of generations." Strong support from local regulars. An anchor of Kamata's west side.
