Situated in Shikemichi, an area that retains the atmosphere of an Edo-period merchant town, Unagiya Shibafukuya is a modern Japanese dining space renovated from a traditional townhouse with its original wooden pillars preserved. Grilled over high-heat binchotan charcoal, the eel turns out with delightfully fragrant, crispy skin and plump, tender flesh, highlighting the refined craftsmanship of the head chef, who honed his skills at famous Nagoya establishments for years. The signature hitsumabushi is enjoyed in four distinct ways—as is, with condiments (yakumi), with dashi (Japanese soup stock), and as ochazuke—allowing you to savor the rich flavor of thick, premium blue eel that is larger than standard varieties. The Mabushiba-don, which allows guests to enjoy both unadon and hitsumabushi in a single bowl, is another specialty, while dishes like shirayaki (unseasoned grilled eel) and liver skewers pair excellently with sake. With diverse seating options ranging from counter seats to horigotatsu (sunken table seating) private rooms, an entirely non-smoking interior, and stroller-friendly access, it easily suits solo diners enjoying a drink, family meals, business trips, and sightseeing visits alike. Known for queues forming even before opening time, reserving a table in advance ensures a smooth visit.
