Katori, Chiba, Japan｜Yamada Unagi Restaurant

First time we visited was before covid and today we finally got to go back. Went for dinner on a wednesday and didn’t have to wait to get a table. They seem to only had 4 portions of biggest size eel available today which we ordered but it turned out to be way too big for me 😂 the taste was just as amazing as the first time we had it. After all these years trying out different restaurants in different regions, yamada unagi is still the best in our opinion. Not sure why the rating seems to have dropped since we last visited but the only thing that was a tiny bit of a let down was the service where the staff was always in the kitchen it was hard to get their attention. Eel was perfectly grilled and the sauce was a good amount of sweet and salty. Wish they’d put out a small container of it so we can add more sauce if we’d like. Will definitely be back anytime we come through narita

Your Unagi restaurant is truly exceptional. The delicate balance of flavors and the perfectly grilled eel make every bite a delight. The ambiance is serene and inviting, creating a wonderful dining experience. Thank you for offering such a memorable meal.

We had a wonderful lunch here. Although we don’t speak a lot of Japanese, the staff were so kind and helped us choose lovely dishes. The dining room was relaxed and comfortable. The unagi was the best we have had, incredibly delicious. Highly recommended. Cash only.
