"Eiya" is a shop in Ikebukuro Tobu that specializes in soft eel sushi. They offer a variety of dishes such as rice bowls, chirashi sushi, and sushi using eel as the main ingredient. The eel pressed sushi was fluffy and well-seasoned, with a slightly strong vinegar taste in the rice. The eel nigiri set included 3 pieces of eel nigiri, 2 pieces of scallop nigiri, and 2 pieces of squid nigiri. The scallop and squid were particularly delicious, with a good balance of sweetness in the seasoning. The eel had a rich flavor, possibly from being simmered well. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Eiya @ Tobu Ikebukuro in Ikebukuro is a shop that specializes in eel bento boxes. I had the eel chirashi bowl, which was packed with plenty of eel and very affordable! It looks very shiny and appealing, with squid, egg, shrimp, shiny ingredients, and flying fish roe on top. You can't see it from the top, but when you eat it, you'll be surprised! The eel was generously spread out throughout. The eel was very tender and the sauce soaked into the rice was delicious! It was a great value chirashi bowl.

Three-day weekend, wandering around Tobu Department Store in Ikebukuro... The sweets section is packed with people, probably because Valentine's Day is approaching. I decided to skip that and head to the food section downstairs. The deli and bento sections all seem to have discounts. Around 7 pm, it gets pretty busy here! I have some shopping vouchers from my Tobu Card, so I'll buy dinner here today. I spotted this eel bento from the eel sushi specialty store "Sakae-ya." It's packed with eel sushi and eel rice, looks very filling. A bento that's over 1200 yen is now 972 yen including tax. I'll go with this one. Since the shopping vouchers don't give change, I used a 1000 yen voucher without getting any change back. I'll enjoy it at home without microwaving it. The eel is tender, and the sweet and savory eel sauce is just to my liking. The amount of eel and rice is quite generous, and it fills me up nicely. It might not be the best value if it's over 1200 yen, but if it's under 1000 yen, it's a good deal.

I had a takeout meal from a specialty eel sushi restaurant. I tried the eel bento box. It was visually impressive with lots of sesame seeds sprinkled on top, but when I tasted it, the gentle flavor of the eel spread throughout my mouth and I finished it in no time.

I had some business in Ikebukuro today, so I decided to have lunch there. I got on the Joban Line and thought about where to eat. When I took out my smartphone to check, I realized I had a reservation at a sushi restaurant in Ginza. Oh no! But luckily, I noticed it in time. If I go to Ginza for lunch, I'll make it just in time for my reservation. Once again, I'm a lucky guy. I finished my errands and headed home. But before that, I decided to buy a souvenir at Tobu. As I was walking, I came across a shop specializing in conger eel. They were selling bento boxes that didn't look like conger eel, but if it tasted good, that's all that mattered. If it's really delicious, I can enjoy a tasty conger eel bowl at home. So, I bought one more out of curiosity than for the meal. The verdict? It was incredibly delicious. Even better than a $25 unagi bento box. Luckily, I have a Gavan mill to grind fresh sansho pepper at home, which really enhanced the flavor. Finding a way to enjoy cheap conger eel is a blessing. It's great to be able to enjoy discounted eel, conger eel, or crab in a delicious way. Today is officially Conger Eel Day!

My daughter brought back a souvenir for dinner from Sakae-ya? I didn't know about it before! I love conger eel, so I'm sure the conger eel sushi from a specialty store must be delicious. The sushi set comes with 7 pieces. How much is it? It's around 1300 yen! What?! It includes 4 pieces of conger eel sushi with simmered eel sauce and 3 pieces of conger eel with white sauce? Conger eel is soft and the sauce is sweet! It goes really well with vinegared rice! I tried the white conger eel for the first time and it's refreshing and delicious! The white conger eel has wasabi on top and a hint of sauce, with a herb-like aroma when you eat it. Both pieces are bite-sized so it's not enough to fill you up, but it's convenient to have conger eel available for takeout when you crave it! It may not compare to conger eel sushi from a sushi restaurant, but it's a handy place to satisfy your conger eel cravings. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I went to Tokyo and visited Tobu Department Store. I couldn't decide what to have for dinner, so I wandered around and ended up being intrigued by the Anago (conger eel) dishes at Sakae-ya. I bought Anago sushi and Anago chirashi bento. It was priced at 1280 yen, but due to the evening time, I got it for 1080 yen. The Anago sushi sauce was incredibly delicious, it melted in my mouth. The grilled Anago had wasabi on top, but it was a bit weak. The Anago chirashi had a slightly strong flavor.

Style. I bought the reasonably priced "Oita chicken rice" at a sushi restaurant known for its conger eel sushi. It was on sale for half price, costing me 324 yen. I also bought food from two other shops on sale that day, without considering if I could finish it all. My style is "even when full, if it's half price, buy it." The chicken rice was delicious, with a nice gobo flavor and sticky rice. The conger eel sushi is likely to be good too.

Today, I missed lunch in Ikebukuro and my stomach is growling. I decided to buy a snack and hide away to eat before dinner. I went down to the basement of Tobu Department Store in Ikebukuro. As I walked through the depachika, filled with sweets and cheese, I finally found an "Anago Sushi" place. I was a bit hesitant at first, but ended up buying an 8-piece set of Anago and simmered clam for 1260 yen. I enjoyed it at home with a beer, and it was delicious. The Anago was soft and sweet, while the simmered clam was tender. It was a satisfying meal, but 8 pieces were not quite enough. Overall, it was a tasty treat, perfect for a snack. I recommend it to those who enjoy Anago.

This is Eiya, a specialty shop for anago sushi at the 2nd basement floor of Tobu Ikebukuro store. I had the anago donburi for 1260 yen. The anago was served in a large portion on top. The sauce was slightly sweet and flavorful. It would have been better if it had a bit less sweetness to bring out the flavor of the anago more. The amount of rice is suitable for women. Although it looked like it was overflowing from the bento box, it was actually raised at the bottom, which was a bit disappointing. Let's not hold back and go all out! The anago was tender but not as fluffy as expected. I wish there was something to cleanse the palate in between bites. I love anago, so I wanted to write more positive things, but I'm sorry. Thank you for the meal.

I was at the Matsuzakaya Ueno store for an event. I love conger eel, so I decided to purchase it. - Conger Eel Bowl (\1,260) The portion of rice was quite small, which was perfect for me as I don't eat much rice. It felt just right to eat only the conger eel. For men, the portion might be considered quite small. The conger eel was plump and had a mild taste. The seasoning was light and subtle. Since the conger eel itself had a normal taste, I thought it would be better if the seasoning was a bit stronger to enhance the flavor. Personally, I prefer less rice, but in general, considering the price, a bit more volume might provide better value for money.

After the Midori concert, I stopped by a restaurant and brought home some delicious food as a gift for my family. The rice and eel were still fresh and fluffy even after being stored in the fridge overnight. The grilled eel came in two varieties, one topped with wasabi and the other with yuzu, both of which were delicious. The eel in sweet sauce was also excellent. I didn't know where the restaurant was, so I asked the concierge desk for directions. A stylish concierge gentleman kindly escorted me to the restaurant, making me feel like a sophisticated lady. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I used it for dinner this time. It is a shop located in Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro. I was undecided about what to order, but this time I bought anago sushi. Order details: Anago Sushi 1,050 yen. Anago sushi looks orthodox, but the anago is very soft and has a fluffy texture, which is a characteristic of this dish. The ratio of shari (sushi rice) to anago is just right, and it was a delicious anago sushi. There are also several other types of sushi that come with anago. The pricing is a bit on the high side, but it is a delicious and convenient sushi restaurant.

The soft anago sushi is really delicious as the name suggests, with the anago being very tender. However, as others have mentioned, the smaller anago donburi may be a bit lacking in rice, especially for men. There is also an anago pressed sushi option, which has more volume. While the pressed sushi has more volume, if you want to savor the tenderness of the anago, it might be better to go for the anago nigiri sushi or anago donburi. In addition to anago, they also offer pressed sushi with shimesaba, kohada, spear squid, simmered scallop, and simmered clams, available in sets of 8 or 12 pieces of nigiri sushi. In recent years, they have also started selling anago nigiri sushi without sauce. Located inside Tobu Department Store, you can use Tobu Card, other credit cards accepted at Tobu Department Store, as well as various gift cards.

In the Tokyo and Kanagawa areas, they have a permanent shop on the 2nd floor of Tobu Department Store, but they also participate in events at Ueno Matsuzakaya, Matsuya Ginza, Odakyu Department Store Shinjuku, Odakyu Department Store Machida, Tokyu Department Store Tamaplaza, and Leshipi Aobadai a few times a year. They also participate in food fairs at major department stores from Hokkaido to Okinawa. *As of late February 2012, they have relocated to Plaza Food 9 at B2F of Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro.

I heard there was a special deal for autumn, so I got a delicious eel bento box for only 1000 yen! I love eel so I couldn't resist. The eel was so fluffy and there was a generous amount. I was completely satisfied with the bento box. They also had a white eel option available. I would definitely buy it again when I come to Tobu. 😊

I bought anago sushi at the event in Harukas. It came with three types of sauce: sweet simmered sauce, wasabi, and yuzu pepper. The anago sushi was soft and fluffy, typical of Kanto-style anago sushi, and it melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the wasabi and yuzu pepper without sauce. I was more used to the crispy grilled anago in Kansai, but the Kanto-style anago was delicious too.

One day at Harukas, I came across the words "Boso Chiba". Chiba is my second hometown (・∀・) Barchi ♬ I used to be a student who didn't spend much on food, so I didn't eat sushi back then. It seems that anago is a specialty there. I bought 10 pieces of anago sushi with sauce, wasabi, and yuzu pepper mix. I usually like Kansai-style grilled anago with a crispy surface, but this one was fluffy and delicious ♡ I was surprised to learn that there are different ways to eat anago, such as grilled or simmered. We finished it quickly since we shared it between two people. Anago sushi 10 pieces for 2000 yen.

I stopped by thinking of buying something, and the shop owner gave me a little discount, so I decided to buy it right away. You have good decision-making skills, haha... Both items were discounted a bit, and they were delicious. I would like to buy them again if I see them. I prefer the white one, and the thick roll was also super tasty. I bought it as a souvenir, but ended up eating it myself. If they set up a booth again, I will buy the white one. It was delicious. (From Sakae-ya Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro Main Store)

This is a specialty eel sushi shop located in the underground food section of Tobu Ikebukuro. I usually try to avoid areas within the Yamanote Line circle, but one evening I decided to stop by the department store basement before transferring at Ikebukuro Station. I was also intrigued by a booth selling sushi from Toyama, but there were a few people browsing in front of it so I decided to check out this shop instead. After I made my purchase, they started a time sale... Anago clam bento for 1,296 yen. It features a high-quality long simmered eel and plenty of sweet and savory clams. The seasoning leans towards the sweet side, but it balances well with the rice. It feels like you're getting both eel rice and Fukagawa rice together, which is a good deal for the price. I couldn't find any information on the "Sushi Mokuhei" shop I saw earlier. Maybe it's a limited-time event store? Oh well, not a big deal.
