Attracting plenty of attention with its striking towering Unatama-don, Izumo Ikebukuro is an energetic tavern where you can savor the luxury of eel at reasonable izakaya prices. The famous Unatama-don features a thick rolled omelet topped generously with aromatically grilled eel, delivering both immense volume and deep umami. The signature skewer, Gamanohoyaki, is prepared by deboning cylinder-cut eel using a special technique and grilling it until the skin is crisp while the inside remains wonderfully rich and juicy. Along with classic tanzaku and kurikara skewers, the menu offers creative options like skewers topped with shaved butter, as well as an appetizing eel liver with ponzu. The lively venue features counter and table seating, and with continuous service from noon to night, it works well for everything from a quick solo drink to casual gatherings with friends.
