Historic unagi by wholesaler

Unagi Kubota, operating since 1897 in Tokyo's Sotokanda, offers a traditional eel experience that stands out through its historic, architect-designed setting. Founded as a river fish wholesaler, the restaurant controls its eel quality directly, ensuring fresh, flavorful dishes like unadon and jō-unajū.
