Sumida City, Tokyo, Japan｜鰻魚飯老店 駒形前川

One of the best place to eat Unagi if you happen to be in the Oshiage area for the Tokyo SkyTree. Make sure to also order their tamagoyaki, amazingly made.

I enjoyed the unagi set there. The eel is cooked in a slight sweet way but it doesn’t over compete the original flavor of the ingredient. The dishwater and presentation of food are a good match. Plus the excellent service.

Maekawa serves expertly prepared unaju set meals and offers a classy respite from the crowds and long lines which normally fill the 6th and 7th floors of Solamachi. The balance of flavors between the delicate unagi, clear soup and pickles is simply perfect. It is a bit more expensive than Hitsumabushi bincho downstairs, but clearly superior in quality, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended for those seeking to avoid waiting for a table elsewhere and looking for an elevated meal next to SkyTree.
