The Best Unagi in Tokyo

2 spots, hand-picked from Tokyo.

By TJ Kawamura · Updated May 2026 · Full Tokyo guide

Unagi

Freshwater eel is a delicacy and Obana is one of the best places to try it. Get there early. They sell out. Nodaiwa Azabu Iikura Honten is another worth visiting. It's historic and has a Michelin star.
