Bincho charcoal-grilled eel to perfection! When it comes to the question "What to eat in Japan", one of the most common answer is Unagi - which means freshwater eel in Japanese. In this blog, I'm gonna share with you one of the Unagi restaurant which worth a try when you travel to Tokyo.  Located just 5 minutes away from the Asakusa Temple, you can easily spot this restaurant from the main road. The queue time was killing, as we waited almost a good 45 minutes to get our seats. The menu offers a variety eel dishes in different serving portions. For small eaters, you may opt for the Unadon priced at ¥500 ( Appx. RM 18.50) or for those who loves a BIG meal, the "Surprise Weight" is the deal. A whole grilled eel served on top of a bed of rice priced at only  ¥2000  is guaranteed to satisfy your unagi crave!  We ordered both Unadon and Super Weight to try on. The unagi is incredibly soft and melt in the mouth - One perfect meal value for money.

Today,  I'm walking the 11 Mile Journey with my partner whom was also the birthday boy.  The moment I stepped into the restaurant,  I already fell in love with the ambiance   . The warm lights and dark walls decorated with photographs  created a welcoming and cozy atmosphere to dine in. We were greeted and ushered to our reserved seats immediately upon entering.
