I used it for a farewell party. From Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line "Tsukiji Station", it is a 3-minute walk. From Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line "Shintomicho Station", it is a 3-minute walk. After ordering, the eel is filleted and steamed, so the time until you eat is long, and your appetite increases. I ordered an eel roll. I will wait until the eel is ready. Miyagawa Honten's eel is incredibly tender and plump. They focus on steaming the eel to perfection, and when you put it in your mouth, the eel's fat and sweetness gently spread, melting away smoothly. It's really delicious!!! So delicious.

Visited with a classmate and my daughter. Tsukiji Market is now a vacant lot with high-rise apartments in the Bay Area, and most stores on the main street are closed. However, the area around Mr. Miyagawa remains unchanged. My classmate had been wanting to come here since 40 years ago, so we made a reservation a month in advance and arrived at opening time at 5 pm. We were seated at the table at the back of the second floor. We ordered eel sashimi, eel roll, and beer, considering the time it takes to grill. We also ordered two types of sake: Shirataka and the original Miyagawa, both served at room temperature. Eel is available in five levels, and we ordered the second level for ¥5,390. The eel was neatly arranged in a lacquered box with just the right amount of rice. We cut it into squares with our chopsticks and ate it. The sauce was not too sweet and not too salty, with a perfect balance. The eel was tender and had a slight thickness, with the eel fat changing to give it a creamy texture. Eating delicious food makes us happy, and we were very satisfied.

I had appetizers, grilled whitefish, and a vinegar dish with small skin. The whitefish here is elegant and tender, highly recommended. The vinegar dish, other than the small skin, is not too sour and has a rich dashi flavor that makes you want to drink the broth, it's mellow and recommended. The grilled whitefish is moist and cooked well, the real wasabi served with it enhances the flavor without being overpowering, and it goes well with the soy sauce. The service is polite but not too formal, refreshing and enjoyable.

I have been going to this eel restaurant for a long time. When I make a reservation over the phone, the food is served in about 20 minutes. I always order the regular size eel bowl, which is just right for me. I enjoy sashimi and eel rolls with a beer while waiting for my eel bowl. The taste is consistently delicious as always.

I went to a long-established restaurant in Tsukiji that was founded in Meiji 26. Despite it being Monday lunchtime, the discounted lunch menu is currently suspended, so it was empty. I ordered the "una-don 'i'" with extra rice and no sauce. The chef cooked the eel to reduce the fat, catering to the same clientele as Wakana last night. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the pickles included two thick slices of Nara pickles.

At a business dinner with a seafood company's client, I went to Miyagawa for the first time in a while. It was still during the Obon holidays, so many surrounding restaurants were closed. I made a quick reservation over the phone on the day of the dinner, and easily secured a table. When I called, they asked if I would like to place an order in advance, so I ordered the eel rice bowl for 5,390 yen. The eel rice bowl arrived within 5 minutes of sitting down. The taste was as good as always. Personally, I prefer a slightly stronger flavor, so I think it would be nice if they provided extra sauce. Well, it's more refined.

There are many eel restaurants in Tokyo, but when it comes to old established shops that have been preserving their traditional noren (curtain) since the Edo period, names like Kawasenke (Shibamata), Ooedo (Nihonbashi), Takebatei (Tsukiji), and Maekawa (Asakusa) are famous. The Miyagawa Honke in Tsukiji, established in 1893, is slightly later than those. Nowadays, you may see many eel restaurants with the name "Miyagawa Honke," but only the ones officially affiliated with the Miyagawa series are allowed to use the difficult character "本廛" (hon ten) denoting the main shop, and there are only about 20 such shops nationwide, with the headquarters located here in Tsukiji. The restaurant is located on Heisei Street in Tsukiji, where traditional shops line the street, right next to Miyagawa Shokudo (restaurant specializing in chicken and eggs). The main shop, occupying an entire building, is on the second and third floors. In the midst of this year's unusually hot weather, I felt like having eel from this place, so my wife and I headed out on the weekend. We arrived around 2 pm, with about 3 groups waiting ahead of us, so we had to wait for about 30 minutes before entering the restaurant. It was as popular as ever. (However, on that day, it seems that Ginza Takebatei and Unafuji in Ueno had a one-hour wait, so I consider myself lucky.) First, we moistened our throats with beer while waiting for the eel to be grilled. Today, we ordered the "uzaku" and unaju set (type Ha). After placing our order, we had to wait for 30 minutes for the food to arrive. When the set was brought to our table, opening the lid of the box was always a moment of excitement for me. Upon opening the lid, the plump eel meat spread beautifully in the box, glistening with sauce, making my mouth water. Without delay, I took a bite of rice along with the eel. Mmm! The taste was so good that I couldn't resist it! Even with my bias from being a long-time customer, I believe that the eel here competes for the top spot among all eel restaurants. As it is prepared in the Edo-mae style, steamed and then grilled, the eel meat, rich in fat, is perfectly steamed and grilled to a fluffy texture, with a firm yet soft bite that is always satisfying. The sauce is light, but it balances perfectly with the fluffy texture of the meat. Despite intending to savor it slowly, before I knew it, I had finished the whole set. After waiting for an hour in line and eating for only about 15 minutes, I thought, "Ah, what a feast! I will definitely come back!"

On the day of the midsummer day of the ox in 2023, at 1:00 pm, I initially thought many places were crowded and not serving eel dishes, so I almost gave up. I decided to call a nearby restaurant, but no one answered. So, I decided to go check it out since I was close by. Surprisingly, when I arrived, there was no line, and the restaurant was open! I was welcomed inside and seated right away. I ordered the "Irohani" set, which is said to have a variety of eel sizes, and also added a side of eel liver. It was my first time ordering the "Irohani" set. The wait was about 1 hour, but it was worth it as the eel was incredibly delicious. I will definitely come back next year on the midsummer day of the ox. It's a hidden gem! Looking forward to enjoying more delicious eel dishes next year!

I had a great time with a business partner who I get along well with. We enjoyed grilled eel liver, grilled eel, eel rice bowl, and beer. The grilled eel liver and grilled eel were delicious as usual. Sometimes the grilled eel liver can have a strong smell at certain restaurants, but not at this one. The grilled eel was also tasty. However, the most noteworthy dish was the eel rice bowl with two layers of eel. It looked luxurious and was truly unique. The eel in the middle layer mixed perfectly with the rice, making it a delicious combination. The price was high, but I believe it was worth it for the quality of the food.

The best eel I've ever had in my life. I had an eel rice bowl and grilled eel, and it was amazing. The eel rice bowl was filled with layers of eel so you couldn't see the rice. My friend who came with me was also impressed and speechless. Definitely worth a visit.

It's July, so I tried eel again. This time, I visited Tsukiji, where you can't go wrong with fish. I hesitated when looking at the menu, but ultimately decided to splurge on an eel rice bowl and red miso soup. "It will take about 30 minutes to cook, is that okay with you?" the waiter asked. It's good to know this in advance, in case you're in a hurry. After a few dozen minutes, it arrived! From the appearance to the smell, the deliciousness was already evident. I dug in right away, and the eel's fluffiness was unlike anything I've had before... Even the skin was soft and easily cut with chopsticks, without stretching. I might become addicted to the eel here. I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

I visited at lunchtime. For some reason, a group of four who came after us was seated before us (we were a group of two), and we had to wait quite a while, but the eel was plump and very delicious. I will make a reservation and visit again.

I love the eel restaurant. There are many eel restaurants in the Chuo Ward area, but Miyagawa's eel is the most delicious. The eel is plump and the sauce is light, I never get tired of eating it. It's perfect for a hot day. I will visit at night next time!

The polite grilling results in a fluffy and delicious eel dish that is absolutely marvelous!!! The sauce is just the right amount of sweet and can be customized to your liking. The menu includes dishes like una-don, una-juu, una-juu with liver, una-hitsuji, and more. The restaurant also offers set meals starting from 7,700 yen. The establishment has a long history, with a tradition of serving eel dishes that have been passed down for over 120 years. Enjoy the authentic taste of Miyagawa's grilled eel.

I haven't eaten enough eel to talk about it, but in the Tsukiji area, there is a top-level delicious restaurant. I am satisfied more than the price, and I use it as a reward for a little effort. It is a popular restaurant where you often have to wait on weekends. Personally, I hope that I can continue to casually enter on weekdays.

After a long time, I went shopping at Isetan. Among the various restaurants lined up, it was already past 3 PM so there was almost no crowd. I visited a local eel restaurant. They offered eel dishes starting from the 2000 yen range, with prices varying depending on the size of the eel. The eel had a relatively refreshing taste and was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I have been eating eel at Miyagawa in Tsukiji for over 20 years. The eel sauce here may be divisive as it is quite sweet. However, this sweet sauce pairs well with the eel and rice, creating an exquisite deliciousness. The familiar taste of this place, which I have been eating for a long time, gives me a sense of home, and I love it as a favorite restaurant.

The atmosphere is calm and nostalgic, giving off a Showa era vibe. I have dined at three well-known eel restaurants in Hamamatsu, but I prefer Miyanokawa's eel. I was impressed by the deliciousness of the grilled eel. It was fluffy yet had a nice crispy texture. I had high expectations for the eel rice bowl and grilled eel, and they did not disappoint. The eel rice bowl was seasoned with strong soy sauce, and the rice was just as soft as the eel. The grilled eel was also delicious, best enjoyed with just wasabi. The grilled eel liver was fresh and firm, with a less intense flavor than expected. It is recommended to visit early as it can take up to 40 minutes to get the eel during peak hours.

This time, we had guests from Kyushu and visited the reliable Miyagawa. I love eel and have explored various places, but personally, I keep coming back here for its deliciousness. Since I wasn't very hungry, I ordered the eel rice bowl and liver sashimi set. The grilled eel is also delicious, so I always order it (laughs). It would be perfect if they had eel bone crackers too... (laughs)

I visited Tsukiji Miyagawa Honjin, a long-established eel restaurant in Tsukiji, for lunch. When I'm feeling unwell or need a pick-me-up, eel always does the trick. I have a strange personal experience where after two weeks of continuous IV drips during a hospital stay, the morning after eating eel upon discharge, my scars miraculously disappeared. That's why I have great trust in eel. Despite the rain and the somewhat high prices, I thought we might be able to get in without waiting in line, so I visited with my friend Kamisan. We arrived at 12:10 pm and there was a 2-person wait. After waiting for 10 minutes on the second floor, we were seated in a private room. Looking at the menu, the eel bowl and eel on rice were the same price. Since the eel bowl seemed more generous and recommended, I decided to try that. I ordered the eel bowl for 8690 yen and added red miso soup for 550 yen. Kamisan opted for the limited lunch special on weekdays, which included eel on rice with soup and pickles for 3190 yen, and added a steamed egg custard for 770 yen. The steamed egg custard arrived first and it was delicious with a rich broth and plenty of ingredients. By 1 pm, we were still waiting for our main dishes. Finally, after about 45 minutes of waiting, our eel bowls arrived! The presentation was impressive, with a generous serving of eel in a large bowl. The eel was flavorful and the sauce had a hint of spiciness and less sweetness, perfect for adult tastes. It was a truly delicious eel bowl that didn't leave us feeling heavy despite the large portion. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely be back.
