Myojinshita Kandagawa

In this splendid old townhouse kimono-clad waitresses serve succulent, tender eel grilled over charcoal and basted with thick, sweet soy sauce. Don’t miss the unaju: eel served on a bed of white rice inside an ornate lacquered box. A classic dish of old Tokyo, in a setting to match. Kandagawa is just steps from the electronic frazzle of Akihabara, but a world away in atmosphere. Advance reservations are essential here.
