Meguro City, Tokyo, Japan｜Unagi Hosakaya

A countertop spot for fresh unadon, skewers, and other unagi dishes. I tried umaki (tamago wrapped eel) for the first time and it was all delicious. It was mostly locals, but one of the waiters spoke perfect English and helped me out the whole time. I came on the earlier side (4:45pm) and was able to get a seat, but it definitely started filling up for the dinner rush, though it moved fairly fast with quick service and most customers not lingering (except me as a tourist). Highly recommend for quality unagi and an authentic experience.

Perfect eel restaurant, eel tastes so fresh and the extra skewer meat was perfect. Price is very reasonable and sake overflow to a plate makes this restaurant feels just like I was dining in Midnight Diner! Love the authenticity and no nonsense feel of this very wonderful restaurant. 💯

A very decent unagi place in Jiyugaoka. We came here on weekdays 11.45am and there was a line already. Did not wait long until we were seated. Limited menu to choose from but all are delicious!! We ordered 3 ways skewers - shio, tare and liver. I like the normal Tare one the most. We also ordered Don and it was awesome 👏🏻 The service was fast although the lady got confused and charged us 200 yen more than we actually had, overall good experience 😅
