A nostalgic eel restaurant located near Ishikiribashi Bridge. I don't have much experience dining at famous eel restaurants, but I have never had eel this tender and fluffy before! It's a short walk from Kagurazaka Station and close to Edogawabashi Station. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere with bright lights, which builds up anticipation. I called to make a reservation on the day of, but unfortunately, all reservation slots were full. However, they said walk-ins were welcome, so I decided to give it a try. I arrived around 18:40, thinking it might be too late since they close at 20:00 with last order at 19:30, but luckily I managed to snag the last table for two. The restaurant is said to have a total of 20 seats, but in reality, there were 32 seats including 2-person tables, 4-person tables, and tatami rooms. The staff, despite being from an old establishment, were surprisingly young and very courteous. I ordered the Eel Bowl (¥4,300), Liver Sashimi (¥310), and a bottle of Premium Malt beer (¥800). As I waited with the appetizer and beer, my meal arrived in about 30 minutes. The eel was incredibly tender and melt-in-your-mouth, with a light and delicate sauce. The rice was slightly firm, absorbing the sauce and becoming slightly softer, which I personally loved. Every bite was full of flavor, and the combination with the eel was perfect. The liver sashimi was also delicious, with a unique texture that was both firm and creamy. I didn't want the meal to end, but before I knew it, I had finished every last bite. It was truly amazing!

I visited the restaurant on 20th September 2023 for lunch with my local gourmet club, consisting of 4 people. We arrived 15 minutes before opening. A staff member preparing for opening came out and kindly said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, please wait a little longer until we open." I was impressed by the wonderful service. We ordered a large bottle of beer and eel rolls first. While enjoying the fluffy eel rolls, we eagerly waited for our eel rice bowls (I ordered the special one). After about 30 minutes, our eel rice bowls arrived at the table. We all ate in silence, and the eel was fluffy like the eel rolls, and the sauce had a refreshing taste. I regret not ordering extra rice, but I was very satisfied with the eel rice bowl. I will definitely visit again with my family next time! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Edogawabashi Station is a 3-minute walk away. We made a reservation by phone at the eel restaurant "Hashimoto" located at the foot of Ishikiribashi and visited for lunch with 4 people on a weekday. The appearance and interior of the restaurant are like a traditional eel restaurant, and a nice aroma fills the air. The top quality eel is 5,000 yen, "limited quantity", while the regular is 4,300 yen, with a difference in the size of the eel. Since the soup is not included, we added liver soup for 250 yen. It took about 15 minutes from ordering for the food to arrive. The eel was fluffy and the fat was well-cooked, but it paired well with the sauce (not too sweet) and was not overwhelming, so we could eat more and more. We were surprised when the eel bones came out as one piece for 250 yen. By the time we left around 12:45, the restaurant was almost empty, so I wonder if reservations are not necessary. Thank you for the meal. Rating on Tabelog as of September 2023 is 3.76.

I finally visited this restaurant near my home that I've been curious about for a long time. It is a super long-established place that has been operated by the 6th generation, and they are famous for their secret sauce and carefully selected rare parts of eel. When I actually tried it, I immediately understood why. It was very delicious, with a rich flavor but not too fatty, making it easy to eat. I have great respect for their many years of business. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Every summer, I go to eat eel to build up my strength! This year, I went to this restaurant, which has been selected as one of the top 100. The impression I got was that it is an old-established eel restaurant where you can feel the history from the appearance of the store. I made a reservation for 12:30, and since it was a bit late for lunch, the special and regular eel were already sold out! I originally planned to order the premium eel, so I was relieved and placed my order. The eel was plump and fluffy, and the sauce had a taste that exuded the feeling of an old-established restaurant, it was excellent. The soup was also flavorful with a gentle taste, not too strong. I am very satisfied. I would like to visit again someday! Thank you for the meal.

It's a 5-minute walk from Edogawabashi Station. If you're not familiar with this area, it may not ring a bell, but it's actually a convenient location, just a 10-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station, and 17-18 minutes from Iidabashi Station and Korakuen Station. The place may not be for everyone, with its unassuming appearance, but I think it's a good restaurant. I'd like to visit again when I want to enjoy eel.

I went to the renowned eel restaurant "Hashimoto" where people were already lining up before opening, with almost everyone having made reservations. Thanks to my reservation, I was able to enter smoothly, but once inside the restaurant, the wait was long. I waited for 30 minutes after placing my order for the premium eel rice bowl with soup. The eel was tender and plump, with a subtle sweetness and soy sauce flavor. The portion size felt quite large, so I thought the smaller size would have been enough. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the attentive staff were great, but waiting for 30 minutes despite having a reservation was tough.

It's been a while since I had eel. The skewers were amazing, and I paired them with a non-alcoholic beer. I went on a weekday afternoon without a reservation, but was able to get in after about a 30-minute wait. I enjoyed some skewers while waiting for my eel bowl to arrive, and it was a pleasant way to pass the time. This time, I wanted to try a variety of skewers so I opted for the regular eel bowl, and surprisingly, it was just the right amount and tasted great!

During the Bon holidays, I had a meal with a friend who came back to their hometown. The grilled liver was sold out, but we enjoyed some bones and grilled white eel, and finished with a top-quality eel rice bowl. The grilled white eel was fluffy and delicious, and the bones were crispy. Especially noteworthy was the kabayaki eel. The sauce was tangy and the soy sauce flavor stood out, perfect for drinking with sake. Also, it's becoming rare for restaurants to serve pickles with eel dishes, but this place had delicious Nara pickles. The liver in the soup had a nice texture and no unpleasant taste. This restaurant must be known for its kabayaki eel. I hope it stays around for a long time.

¥5000 Special Eel Rice Bowl ¥150 Eel restaurant Hashimoto in Edogawabashi. The restaurant has a nostalgic atmosphere with a quaint exterior along the river. The interior is cool and comfortable with good air conditioning. There are also tatami rooms at the back. If you order the eel rice bowl, liver soup and pickles need to be ordered separately. The restaurant closes at 2 pm, so if you have a reservation after 1 pm, it's best to arrive a bit early or plan to leave by 2 pm. The Special Eel Rice Bowl (limited quantity) is served after a 20-minute wait. The eel looks fluffy and well-grilled. Despite being the top quality, it was a bit thin (probably due to summer), with a fluffy yet not overly melt-in-your-mouth texture. The melting fat and chewy skin are delightful. The gelatinous skin is a must-try for those who enjoy it. The dark grill marks, especially on the tail, are fragrant and full of umami. The lightly charred skin is filled with the aroma of charcoal. The sauce is outstandingly crisp. The firm rice grains are lively and delicious. Pickled vegetables include Chinese cabbage, radish, and Nara-zuke. The clear soup with shiitake mushrooms is light and flavorful. The friendly greeting from the male staff and the kindness of the helpful lady are wonderful. Payment by card (VISA, Master, JCB) and transportation IC cards is accepted. There are also Japanese pepper and toothpicks on the table. Thank you for the meal. August, Saturday, 12:30-13:30.

I ordered the regular unagi bowl since the special one was sold out. It was enough with 2 pieces, not too sweet sauce, and the eel was cooked just right, tender and juicy. The price was reasonable, making it a great value for an unagi restaurant. I believe they also have a larger, more premium option, but it might come with a higher price tag. We also ordered eel bones, fins, eel rolls, tamagoyaki, and beer. Unfortunately, they were out of eel liver. The eel roll with tamagoyaki was delicious, so I recommend adding an extra order of tamagoyaki.

I made a reservation and entered the restaurant at 5:00 PM. I thought there were still vacant seats, but all the seats had reservation signs on them. Soon after, the restaurant became full. I started with beer and grilled fins and liver, but as the menu suggested, I switched to sake. The eel roll was the best I've ever had, and the limited special eel rice bowl was both voluminous and light, leaving me impressed!

This is a renowned eel restaurant located in Edogawabashi. There is also another famous eel restaurant called Ishibashi nearby, making this area a holy place for eel lovers. I had the special eel bowl for lunch this time. The volume of the eel was impressive in both size and thickness, with a deliciously fragrant and perfect taste. It is without a doubt the pinnacle of eel dishes. It was incredibly delicious. I usually only eat eel from Matsuya, so I struggled a bit with the rice balance and ended up with a slight shortage of rice, but I understood that it was a luxurious problem to have. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

This shop is a super famous eel restaurant that has been in business for almost 200 years ✨✨ I visited this time excluding the midsummer day of the ox. It seemed that reservations were required, so I made a reservation about 10 days in advance. I had the limited special eel and eel liver. It took about 45 minutes to come out, which is long, but this waiting time is unique to eel (^-^) As I waited eagerly, it arrived~✨✨ The moment when I opened the lid of this eel box ✨ I always get so excited! The size, shine, gloss, and thickness of the eel are perfect and beautiful ✨✨ It feels almost wasteful to eat it. When you eat it, the savory flavor of the grilled eel spreads throughout your mouth. It's fluffy and melts in your mouth ✨ The sauce didn't feel too sweet. The rice texture is just right. Maybe a little more rice would be good!? It's hard to convey detailed impressions, but I think it's a delicious and traditional taste that everyone would enjoy ✨✨❣️ It was scorching hot, and my throat was dry, but the staff kept refilling my cold tea multiple times (⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎) The Nara pickles were also delicious~✨✨ I would love to have this kind of eel every day!? (*´艸`) It was incredibly delicious, thank you for the feast~✨✨❣️

Ordered various skewers and dashimaki at the top-rated restaurant. They only had bottled beer, Asahi. There was a limit on the number of eel dishes, so it seems like you can only get them by reservation. The top-rated eel was fluffy and delicious, and since I had never eaten eel at other authentic restaurants, I couldn't compare, but it was tasty.

I was told by a business partner that this place is a must-visit, so I came with great interest. It's a restaurant in the city. The eel was plump and delicious, with just the right amount of fat. The sauce was not too sweet, just the way I like it! I also tried the skewers and liver sashimi. Eel is definitely a must in the summer! Delicious! Generous portions! I will definitely come back! I want to come here every day!

I was able to make a reservation for a weekday lunch at the long-established eel restaurant "Hyakumeiten" in Tokyo. The eel was fluffy with amazing broth, although the pieces were small. I tried the grilled eel for the first time and it was very elegant with wasabi and salt. The special eel had a strong flavor but was incredibly delicious. It's expensive but worth it! I want to go again!

Today's meal featured eel from Kyushu, which was delicious but felt a bit light. The liver dish also had a slight lack of depth in flavor. As for the drinks, the Masaumi sake from Toyama was excellent. The grilled chicken was tasty and satisfying, although I was a little disappointed that they didn't have grilled liver.

Tokyo Mizusuidobashi, an eel restaurant with a long history, Hashimoto. Tokyo is home to many longstanding eel restaurants. Honorable. Established in 1835 during the Tenpo era. Divine. The dignified exterior exudes a sense of tradition. The hospitality inside the restaurant is polite and welcoming. The kind and attentive service leaves you feeling happy. Heavenly. I had the special eel rice bowl and grilled eel skewers. The skewers were tender with a delicious fatty sweetness. The eel rice bowl was plump and tender in the Edo style. The sauce was refreshingly sweet and paired well with the eel. Delightful. Enjoying delicious eel puts you in a good mood. Blissful. I was in ecstasy while savoring the meal. Thank you for the feast.

This is a long-established eel restaurant located near the Kanda River, at the foot of Ishikiri Bridge, with a history of nearly 200 years. Despite its long history, the prices are reasonable. Order: - Eel Deluxe Course 7,830 yen The course included: - Grilled eel (deluxe) - Tamagoyaki (rolled omelette) - Yakitori (2 skewers) - Liver - Pickles Miscellaneous: Established in 1835 (Tenpo 6). This is a longstanding restaurant that has been in business since the Edo period. I made a reservation about three weeks in advance. On the day of our visit, there was a sign saying "Eel sold out due to reservations."

I had eel a little earlier than the day of the Ox Day, at Hashimoto in Edogawabashi. Last year, I tried to make a reservation for Ox Day, but it was already full, so this year I made a reservation in advance. This time, I ordered the premium eel course for 7830 yen. The course included grilled chicken, omelette, liver sashimi, and pickles. First, the grilled chicken was served. It had a simple salt seasoning, but the texture was great and delicious. Next, the omelette arrived. It was full of broth and also very tasty. Finally, the eel rice bowl, pickles, and liver sashimi were served. The eel had a firm texture with a flavorful sauce, making it a great match with rice. Among the pickles, the Nara pickles stood out as a nice accent, and the portion was just right. It had been a while since I had liver sashimi, and I realized how delicious the real thing is. Despite the hot weather, enjoying delicious eel like this makes it easier to get through the days. Once again, I was full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.
