Located near Aomono-Yokocho Station, this restaurant is one of the top 100 eel restaurants in Tokyo. It stands out among the high-end eel restaurants in the area by specializing in "unadon" (eel rice bowl) at a reasonable price of 3,050 yen including tax. The restaurant is small with a counter seating of 8, and it is recommended to arrive early as they tend to sell out quickly, especially on Saturdays when they are only open from 11:00 to 13:45. The lunch menu consists of only unadon, miso soup, and pickles, with no option for grilled eel liver or skin. Once you place your order, the eel is quickly heated and served in about 1-2 minutes. The eel is large, thick, and tender, with a light sauce that enhances its natural flavor. Customers eat quickly, with a turnover time of 10-15 minutes. The rice is freshly cooked and delicious, complementing the eel perfectly. They also offer a "double eel bowl" for 5,850 yen, which has two layers of eel on top of the rice. Takeout eel bento is available, and many customers choose to reserve in advance for pick-up. It's important to note that only photos of the unadon are allowed inside the restaurant, and photography of the interior or exterior of the store is prohibited. Overall, it's a must-visit restaurant for eel lovers looking for a great value and delicious meal.

Two people on a holiday. The lunch spot has already been decided, and the train time has been set as well. Yes, I am a stickler for schedules. I arrived at the station as planned and let's head over. This is "Unagi Marutomi," a restaurant located a 3-minute walk from Keikyu Aomono Yokocho Station. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and it was selected as one of the top 100 eel restaurants in 2022. Most of the eel restaurants on the top 100 list are quite expensive, but this one is reasonably priced. For those who don't eat eel, spending thousands of yen on it may seem absurd, but with the recent rise in eel prices, even 3000 yen seems cheap! I arrived at the restaurant about 5 minutes before opening, and there was only one person in line. I decided to go in and the place was very small. We sat at the counter in a U-shape with seats for 8 people. We were immediately asked for our order. I ordered the Unagi Donburi (with less rice) and miso soup, while the staff showed me the amount of rice in the bowl and asked if I wanted less. The regular portion looked quite generous. I opted for less rice, and my companion went for the regular portion. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, the Unagi Donburi arrived. The aroma of the grilled eel filled the small restaurant, and we were surprised by the speed of service. The eel looked glossy and shiny, and why does grilled eel always look so delicious? My companion usually starts eating after saying "Itadakimasu," but I couldn't wait and started eating ahead of him. When I picked up my chopsticks, the crispy grilled surface of the eel seemed like the Kansai style. The meat wasn't too thick, so it felt soft and fluffy inside. However, for 3150 yen, I was very satisfied with the generous portion of the Unagi Donburi. I felt that there was slightly too much sauce, maybe because I asked for less rice. My companion who had the regular portion didn't seem to mind the amount of sauce. The miso soup was served in a bowl, and it was so hot to hold! It had the standard ingredients of tofu and fried tofu, with a delicious taste of koji miso. When the customer at the back finished eating and paid the bill, my companion and I had to stand in the aisle so that person could leave. The restaurant was so small that it felt like a fast-food place! The whole experience took about 15 minutes. If everyone took 30 minutes to finish their meal, the turnover would be slow, but fortunately, it seemed to be quick.

Long-awaited plan to visit a famous eel rice bowl (unagi don) restaurant♪ On this day, with a happy and grateful unexpected income in hand, I headed to Aomonoyokocho Station on the Keikyu Line. Facing the street in front of the station is "Unagi Marutomi". I arrived 6-7 minutes before opening time. There was one person waiting in line. I was seated slightly earlier than the opening time, and shortly after, a group of two arrived. - Eel rice bowl (regular size), normal rice portion. - Miso soup. - Eel rice bowl (regular size), less rice. - Miso soup. The eel rice bowl (regular size) costs 3150 yen. Less rice is 50 yen cheaper. Miso soup costs 200 yen. Since they only serve eel rice bowls for lunch, the service is very efficient and the billing is clear. They minimize waste and start grilling the eel early to be ready for lunchtime, so the service is quick! The sauce is slightly spicy, but the eel is crispy on the outside and relatively fluffy on the inside, very delicious, and most importantly, generous in portion! There were even male customers who ordered less rice, showing the well-cooked rice is also good. The miso soup contains tofu, fried tofu, chopped green onions, and is delicious without being too strong. Without hesitation, I ordered and quickly ate, which seems to be the correct way to enjoy this restaurant. With only 8 counter seats, there is no need to rush to eat, but the lively atmosphere makes it enjoyable. For around 3000 yen, you can enjoy a substantial eel rice bowl with a solid content, so there are no complaints. This restaurant is not suitable for those who want to relax. It is better to choose another restaurant. The service is not bad, and I thought it was a good restaurant. The weather was getting suspicious with a thunderstorm forecast, so I decided to head back quickly, but I really wanted to explore Aomonoyokocho where I got off for the first time. Thank you for the meal~♪ Completely satisfied!!

I first discovered this restaurant about 26 years ago. The menu hasn't changed since then, but I remember that back in the day, the regular eel bowl was around 1,000 yen. The taste is excellent, the cost performance is outstanding, and I have recommended it to many people. It is now listed as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog! The eel in the bowl is so big that it overflows, thick and juicy, with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, all topped with a sweet and savory sauce. It's the best! Today, I had a meeting with a nearby client in the morning, so I decided to have lunch here since yesterday. The last time I came here was almost a year ago, and since then, the prices have gone up significantly. The regular eel bowl is now 3,150 yen. This time, I ordered less rice for 3,100 yen (-50 yen) and miso soup for 200 yen. It took about 3-5 minutes from ordering to the bowl being served. The taste, the size of the eel, and the quality are still top-notch and incredibly delicious! I finished it in no time.

Visit date: September 7, 2023 (Thursday) Visit time: 12:20 Queue at the time of visit: 0 people - Ordered: Eel rice bowl (regular size, less rice) for 3,100 yen The interior of the restaurant consists of a counter in a U-shape. The energetic service from the staff left a good impression. The eel bowl, priced at around 3,000 yen, is very reasonable. The eel served in the bowl looks impressive. The fragrant aroma of the grilled eel and the sweet sauce definitely stimulate the appetite. The surface is crispy while the inside is moist and juicy. The quality of eel you can get for this price is outstanding! It was so delicious that I finished it quickly. It was really tasty, thank you for the meal.

I visited Unagimaru Tomi in Aomono Yokocho. I have always wanted to come to this restaurant. It is a little past 11 o'clock, just before the lunch rush, and there are no customers yet. I ordered the regular size unagi bowl. It arrived quickly. The portion of unagi is quite large. The surface is slightly charred and the inside is fluffy. It is delicious. I think 3,150 yen is a reasonable price. I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I decided to treat myself to some luxurious eel at Marutomi. I arrived a little after 12 o'clock and was able to enter the restaurant without any wait. I ordered the eel bowl (regular size) for 3,150 yen. The eel is grilled and then grilled again with sauce, so the eel bowl was served in about 5 minutes. It had a good portion size and for 3,150 yen, it's quite affordable. It may be a bit pricey for lunch, but considering it's eel, it's actually a good deal. The taste was decently delicious. It may not beat high-end eel restaurants, but it's definitely better than chain restaurants. I think this place is suitable for those who want to eat eel but prioritize speed and cost-effectiveness.

I visited the restaurant as soon as it opened. There wasn't a long line, just a few people scattered behind me. I ordered the eel rice bowl. It arrived in about 5 minutes. So fast! This is it, this is it. Even for someone impatient like me, I was completely satisfied! It's delicious, there's nothing else to say - it's the best. My colleague who came with me was also impressed. I wish there was a restaurant like this nearby. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back!

Delicious, affordable, and top-notch! "Unagi Marutomi" in Aomono Yokocho, which has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants, lived up to its reputation. Arriving at the restaurant around 1 pm on a weekday, I was able to enter immediately without waiting in line. Within minutes of placing my order, the unagi donburi was served, showcasing an impressive quality. The amount of unagi in the donburi exceeded my expectations, spilling over the bowl. With such volume and price, it's hard to find a place in Tokyo where you can enjoy unagi like this. Considering the cost performance, it's one of the best in Tokyo! The cozy atmosphere of this small restaurant with about 8 counter seats exudes a traditional charm, which I personally enjoyed. Just a 3-minute walk from Aomono Yokocho Station, the location is convenient. Note that photography is not allowed inside the restaurant, except for the donburi dishes. Let's enjoy our meal while respecting the rules!

At the end of last month, I couldn't eat eel because work was busy. At the beginning of this month, I visited a restaurant in Aomono Yokocho. When I arrived, there were people waiting, but as expected, the turnover was good, so I was able to sit down inside faster than I thought. The regular size eel bowl was 3,050 yen. Just as I heard before, the eel was overflowing from the bowl. The surface was crispy, the inside was fluffy, and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce was not too sticky, giving it a refreshing taste, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. The service was quick, and even though it was crowded, I was able to eat a delicious eel bowl.

It has been hot lately. So, even though it's Unagi Day, today I headed to Marutomi in Aomono Yokocho. It was the day before the hot summer's Day of the Ox, so it was a bit reckless. Normally, I would walk from Oimachi Station, but the heat and the day before Unagi Day seemed to be a sign to take the Keikyu train. When I arrived around 11:30, there were more than 20 people in line. Just then, a staff member came out with a sign saying they had sold out and started managing the number of people in line. Thank you for managing this so well, as it's the last person waiting. We finally got in and the chef thanked us for waiting in the heat and for the sold-out sign. We all enjoyed a cold beer together. The chef asked if we wanted a small or large portion, and even offered us some grilled liver. The eel was delicious, perfectly cooked and not too sweet. The staff were very considerate, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. It was a great experience at this eel specialty restaurant.

⭐️Unagimaru Tomi (Shinagawa-ku, Minamishinagawa 3-6-2) is located a 5-minute walk from Keikyu Aomonoyokocho Station. It was fully packed as soon as it opened at 11:00. This eel restaurant is located near the old Tokaido road and has been around for a long time. The eel was plump, fluffy, and generously sized. The restaurant has only a counter seating, and their fast food style dishes are very popular. I enjoyed the meal very much. Thank you for the delicious food!

Here is a renowned eel restaurant at Aomono Yokocho. It's July and I happened to visit during the day, so I took the chance to come here right when they opened! The eel portion was huge and they served it quickly. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I accompanied my wife to the Sameshima License Center for license renewal and on the way back, we suddenly craved eel after remembering the eel we ate in Aichi. We ended up at this restaurant, Marutomi. It has a historic and charming atmosphere, with only about 10 counter seats. The eel bowl costs 3050 yen, with an extra 50 yen for extra rice. The size and thickness of the eel exceeded our expectations at this price. The eel meat is tender and the sauce has a gentle balance of sweetness and spiciness that complements the richness of the eel. I wish this place was closer to my home. I want to go to the License Center every month just to visit this restaurant again.

I went to Unagiya Marutomi in Aomono Yokocho after a long time. Usually, I can enter without waiting, but today there was a rare line and I waited for about 20 minutes. I paid 3,150 yen for an eel bowl that was definitely worth it. The perfectly grilled eel and the delicious sauce were amazing. The miso soup, which looks like a lot, and the daikon pickles complemented the meal perfectly. I enjoyed it deliciously today as well.

I visited the restaurant at 11:20 on a regular weekday. There were 7 people waiting. I waited for 20 minutes before being seated. The lunch menu only had eel bowl and miso soup. I didn't have to wait long for my eel bowl (regular: 3150 yen) to arrive, about 5 minutes. They reheat the steamed eel before serving it. It's not like a top-notch restaurant, but the taste is top-notch. Even in summer, the eel was fatty and delicious without any unpleasant smell. It seems like they prepare it well in advance. The sauce was slightly sweet, and the rice was piping hot and went well with the eel. Great value for money, recommended for those who want to eat delicious eel quickly. I will definitely visit again!

I arrived around 12:40 and there were a few people in line, but we were seated within 5 minutes. I was debating between getting the double eel bowl or the regular one, but ended up ordering the regular size. Just as other reviews mentioned, the eel bowl arrived faster than fast food. Even though I ordered the regular size, it came with two pieces of eel... I wonder what the double size looks like? The eel was delicious, with a perfect balance of rice and sauce. It wasn't too strong in flavor. The eel was tender and crispy in some parts, and I finished it in no time. Even the regular size was quite filling and the price was reasonable. It was amazing.

Anyway, it's really delicious! I can't go there often due to the location, but I definitely want to go again. The size of the eel is impressive, and I love the taste of eel that is properly grilled. It's completely different from the soft eel that you can eat even without teeth at typical high-end eel restaurants.

I felt like eating unagi donburi and was torn between a restaurant in Shinbashi. I was lured in by the photos posted online and decided to visit for the first time. I lined up as the fourth person about 5 minutes before the restaurant started rotating customers. The smell of the unagi being prepared on the grill was already making my mouth water. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with only 8 counter seats. It quickly filled up, with 3 people already waiting outside. I ordered the regular size unagi donburi and miso soup. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes. I took the first bite with high expectations! Although I'm not a huge unagi fan, I would say that the taste was similar to other budget unagi restaurants. The key factors are the steaming process and the sweetness of the sauce, which didn't quite suit my taste. The portion of rice, even in the regular size, was about 2 bowls worth. The simple miso soup with tofu, fried tofu, and daikon was just right in terms of flavor. I thought the unagi donburi for 3000 yen, as shown in the photo, was a good deal, but it left a slightly expensive impression on my wallet. I plan to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

Visited on June 27, 2023 (Tue) at 11:54. There were two customers in the restaurant, but I was able to be seated immediately. I ordered the eel bowl (3,150 yen). The eel, which was already grilled, was served in sauce and the eel bowl arrived in 1-2 minutes. The eel was thick and crispy, grilled to perfection. While 3,000 yen for lunch may not be cheap, I feel that it is worth splurging a little here rather than settling for eel from a common chain restaurant. This eel restaurant offers a unique experience, striking a balance between high-end and chain restaurants. Upon leaving, there were no other customers in the restaurant. (They had a sign saying no photography of the interior or exterior, so I only have a photo of the eel bowl.)

When summer comes, I always crave for eel. After the eel restaurant in Shin-Yokohama closed down, I was looking for a new place with good cost performance and decided to visit Marufu. It's only a 2-3 minute walk from Aomono Yokocho. I went there on a Saturday before noon and there was a wait of 5 people, but I got seated quickly. I ordered the eel bowl (3150 yen) with extra rice (50 yen) and miso soup (200 yen). The food was served immediately after ordering. The eel had a nice grilled flavor with slightly sweet sauce, which I liked. The miso soup was average, but I wish it came with eel liver soup instead. As you can see in the picture, the eel was big and the large portion balanced well with the meal. It was a great find for me after a long time. The only downside was that it was a bit farther from my home than I had expected.
