What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A legendary unagi specialist in Urawa's Maemachi-dori shopping street, operating for over 60 years. Selected as Tabelog Unagi Top 100 every year since its first selection in 2018, consistently ranking in the national top 10. Famous for handpicking premium domestic eel, grilling over binchotan charcoal, and removing about 200 small bones per serving by hand. No reservations — expect a queue.

Over 785 reviews gush: 'When in Urawa, this is the only choice.' 'The silky texture from hand-deboning the eel is deeply moving.' 'Even arriving at 11am, the lunchtime service can sell out before you're seated.' Tabelog score: 3.93.
