Located in Akasaka. The interior of the restaurant has a modern feel. The first floor is small, but there are also seats downstairs. I ordered the bamboo eel lunch set. It took about 10 minutes for it to be served, but it was worth the wait. As expected from a long-established restaurant in Akasaka, the eel set was of high quality. The surface was crispy, but the inside was tender and soft. The sauce was not overpowering, allowing the deliciousness of the eel to shine through. The rice was perfectly cooked. Eating it brought a sense of happiness and a smile to my face. The soup and pickles were simple yet delicious. This 100-year-old traditional eel restaurant did not disappoint.

I visited for lunch. It was early, so there weren't many customers. The restaurant was quite spacious with seating downstairs as well. I ordered the eel bamboo dish, which was light and tender with less fat, in a Kanto style. Personally, I prefer eel dishes with a bit more richness.

A few minutes' walk from Akasaka Station is a retro eel restaurant with an old-fashioned atmosphere. Once inside, the atmosphere remains the same, but luxurious eel dishes are served. The prices are also reasonable, making it easy to stop by after work. I would like to visit again.

I made a phone reservation during the day and visited. It had been a while since I last had hitsumabushi, so I went after the Day of the Ox had passed. I ordered the hitsumabushi lunch set for 2500 yen. Was it because it was shortly after the Day of the Ox that it didn't taste as good as before? Or was it because it was a lunch set? I didn't feel the same excitement as when I had it before.

The hitsumabushi was incredibly delicious! I stopped by around lunchtime. I realized I needed to boost my energy in this heat, and before I knew it, I was inside the restaurant. The fluffy eel over rice was devoured in no time. It was truly delicious. I feel revived! I will definitely visit again!

I went to have lunch at a restaurant in Akasaka Mitsuke. It has a rating of 3.49 on Tabelog with about 8,000 yen per person. It's located a 5-minute walk from Akasaka Mitsuke and has been in business for 100 years. The eel dish in the first picture was delicious. I ordered the Hitsumabushi, which is eel served in a bowl. Even though the regular eel bowl is good, I prefer Hitsumabushi because I like the condiments. The lunch set in the second picture was a good deal at 2,500 yen. The third picture shows a unique dish - eel ham. It was steamed and grilled with vinegar miso, giving it a texture similar to ham. The kombu with eggs had a rich flavor that made it perfect to eat with rice. I had a luxurious lunch with beer on the day of the midsummer eel festival. #AkasakaMitsukeLunch #AkasakaMitsukeGourmet #AkasakaGourmet #AkasakaLunch #AkasakaEel #AkasakaMitsukeEel #Eel #Hitsumabushi

Every year, I feel like eating eel, so I always visit this classic restaurant. With the hot days, I'm already exhausted. I take a taxi to the front of the restaurant. When I pass through the charming entrance curtain, there are table seats on the first floor, and box seats, private rooms, and semi-private rooms on the basement floor. I always make a reservation before visiting. I am always guided to the box seats or semi-private rooms on the basement floor. I start with a mini bottle (250ml) of Chilean white wine "Frontera". The dishes I had were: - Simmered eel - Eel ham - Grilled eel - Daikon and scallop salad - Eel roll - Eel rice bowl (pine) I was disappointed that the grilled eel liver was sold out early. I switch to sake in the second half. The Kanto-style broiled eel, steamed and then grilled, is plump inside and crispy outside, and still delicious. The rice is not too soft, with just the right firmness. The sauce is not too spicy, elegant and to my taste. I want to come back to eat and get through this summer.

Before the Day of the Ox in midsummer, I felt like eating eel and made a reservation to avoid the crowds. I ordered the regular menu eel dish for 5,200 yen. The seasoning was not too strong, which was to my liking, but I personally prefer a slightly stronger sauce. I hope to survive the hot summer. Eel is a luxury item and it's a shame it's not easily accessible.

It's Wednesday night. I'm in Akasaka. Tonight, I'm wandering around Akasaka with no particular reservation, just hoping to find a restaurant that catches my interest. I get off at Tameike-Sanno station on the Namboku Line and walk around the area. I stumble upon Tomikikun in Espalande Akasaka on the corner of Akasaka Street. I remember seeing this place in Takashimaya's basement food court and TBS headquarters building. A few weeks ago, I had eel without steaming in Nagoya. Alright, tonight, I'll try the steamed eel at Mitochofu, haha! It's just before 7 pm, and as I enter, there are no customers on the first floor. I'm led downstairs and seated at a table for four, with only a family of three there. It's quiet and nice, but a bit lonely. I order the eel rice set with liver and pickles. The staff mention, "It will take about thirty minutes to steam and grill the eel." Haha, what a tempting offer. Should I order some appetizers while waiting? I notice they have a perfect evening drink set. When I ask about the alcohol, they have Fukinuki sake. There's no escaping this trap. In the end, I order the eel rice, evening drink set, and Fukinuki sake. I sip on the appetizer and evening drink set to pass the time, and before I know it, "Here you go!" The eel rice is served. It hasn't even been twenty minutes! Oh well, there are no other customers, so maybe they prepared it quickly. Now, let's get to the main point. Each comment is listed in the picture section, so please take a look at the images along with the comments. And thank you for the meal. <Summary> First, the eel rice. The sauce is spicy and the rice is firm, a good match. The eel is small and thin, but well, it's the heart of Akasaka, so it's expected. The evening drink set includes eel zaku, eel jelly, small pillars (actually mini scallops) and daikon salad. The Sichuan pepper is excellent in aroma and freshness, probably due to good turnover. <Items Received> ⚫ Eel rice: Bamboo ⚫ Set meal: ・Eel zaku ・Eel jelly ・Small pillars and daikon salad ⚫ Cold sake: Tomikikun (Seiun Sake Brewery), Junmai, Saitama

I had hitsumabushi for lunch. It was delicious with plenty of condiments and tender eel. For those who want more eel, I recommend the unaju set. The hitsumabushi lunch for 2,500 yen is a great deal.

The restaurant has a good atmosphere and the food is delicious. The eel is tender. Also, the name of the restaurant is nice. It gives a sense of pride.

Congratulations on your 100th anniversary! Hitsumabushi was delicious! The staff's service was excellent. I would love to come back for some eel after my workout. Eel after a workout is the best!

On a weekend in Akasaka, I wanted to eat pasta, but when I went to Gogoen, there was a line out the door! I wondered what was going on, but I didn't feel like waiting in line to eat pasta, so I decided to look for another lunch option. I found a nice eel restaurant and decided to give it a try. My pasta craving turned into a delicious eel meal. The restaurant, which I had passed by many times but never tried before, is a long-established place that has been around for over 100 years. They offered a lunch special with eel, which was a good deal. The restaurant had relaxed its COVID-19 measures, and there were also Asian foreign customers dining there. The eel was tender and flavorful. The service was polite and I felt comfortable dining there. Thank you for the meal!

I used it for lunch. The appearance gives off an atmosphere of a long-established store, but the underground floor has a modern design, which is also nice. I ordered the lunch hitsumabushi. Unadon is also good, but sometimes I feel like eating hitsumabushi, which can be enjoyed in various ways. Hitsumabushi is not crispy like Kansai-style grilled eel, but it has a Kanto-style taste. I don't really like Kansai-style, so I often use Fuki-nuki. The ○-ya restaurant I ate at in Nagoya was also very delicious, but the atmosphere of the taste may be somewhat similar.

The restaurant offers a variety of eel dishes such as liver skewers, grilled eel, and eel salad, along with other items like eel rice bowls, grilled eel, and broiled eel. The atmosphere is bright yet cozy, suitable for business meetings or private gatherings. The eel skewers were well-seasoned with salt, the smoked eel had a strong aroma and thick skin, and the broiled eel was tender with a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors. The rice in the eel rice bowl was firm, the sauce was evenly distributed, and the eel was tender with a perfect balance of flavors.

I went there around 11:30 on a weekday. I often go to the unagi restaurant at Shinjuku Takashimaya, but this was my first time here. It was almost full that day with two groups ahead of me, so I waited for about 10 minutes, but surprisingly, there were seats available on the lower floor and the turnover was quite fast. I ordered the lunch hitsumabushi (2500). The eel had a fragrant aroma, a fluffy texture, and the sauce was light. I enjoyed it in various ways, such as eating it as is, adding toppings, and pouring dashi over it. The staff were very polite and I really liked their customer service.

"Fukunuki" is an eel restaurant in Akasaka, with a history dating back to 1912. The name "Fukunuki" comes from the meaning of "noble and persevering" in Japanese. Despite being a weekday afternoon, the restaurant was already quite busy when I arrived around noon. It is advisable to make a reservation if you don't want to miss out. I ordered the Unaju Ume, which costs 1,980 yen. While I may not be able to discern the subtle differences in the eel, it is still a great deal to enjoy eel at this price in a renowned Akasaka establishment. There may be other options in terms of cost-effectiveness or portion size, but the clean interior and attentive staff make it a good choice for important gatherings where you don't want to risk disappointment."

I was in Akasaka for lunch that day, so I decided to visit the eel restaurant "Akasaka Fukinuki" on Akasaka Street after a long time. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice, and I was seated in the basement floor. I wanted to order the premium Unaju made with about 1.5 eels, but considering the atmosphere around me, I reluctantly ordered the "Lunch Unaju Take" with a change to "Liver Sucking". However, when the Unaju was brought to me, the amount of eel was only about 0.75 eels. Well, in terms of cost performance, it was okay. By the way, the Unaju was brought to me in just 5 minutes, which was too fast... When I tried the Unaju, the fluffiness and deliciousness of the eel did not meet my standards... Furthermore, the rice was dry and hard, with some parts clumping together, which was disappointing... The liver in the Liver Sucking dish was also cut too small... Of course, I didn't enter the restaurant with the intention to criticize, but personally, I was left unsatisfied with the Unaju.

I visited during lunch on a holiday. I was very hungry, so I devoured the meal at an embarrassing speed. The texture, sauce, and rice were all delicious, but my stomach was still rumbling, wanting more. I felt like I could eat more unagi-don or hitsumabushi. The behavior of the staff was excellent, as expected from a long-established restaurant. They were very calm and pleasant.

On a Sunday afternoon, it was incredibly crowded with a wait of 12 groups. However, Hitsumabushi was reliably delicious! Even with a small amount of eel, the flavor of the broth and condiments covered it well. They use a ticket system for waiting, and when your turn is near, they can also call you by phone, which is convenient.

I visited the eel specialty restaurant "Akasaka Fukinuki" around 6 pm on a day in December 2022. Located just a 2-3 minute walk from Akasaka Station, I entered the restaurant and informed them of my reservation, and was seated at a table in the basement. The cozy interior was about 30% full of customers. I sat down at the table with my companion and looked at the menu before ordering. We started with a "Kirin Classic Lager (medium)" for ¥780 to toast. The bitterness of the lager was comforting. We were served nametake grated radish as an appetizer, which was a great accompaniment to the beer. We ordered Bone Senbei for ¥700, which had a satisfying crunch. The wild flavor of the bone senbei made it feel like you were really eating eel bones. The slight taste of oil was a bit of a downside, but it was still a satisfying dish for the price. We also ordered Uzaku for ¥1,350, which came with pickled myoga and cucumber. The acidity was not too strong, making it easy to eat. Combined with the delicious eel, it was a highly satisfying dish, although it felt a bit lacking in volume. We switched to a bottle of "Junmai Fukinuki (300ml)" for ¥1,500 and enjoyed it with the uzaku. The sake was easy to drink, although a stronger rice flavor would have been nice. We then ordered the Unaju (bamboo box) for ¥4,000, which came with liver sashimi and pickles. The eel used that day was from Taiwan and was plump with a good sweetness in the sauce. The liver sashimi with Mitsuba in between bites of unaju was a nice touch. We savored the delicious unaju and enjoyed the pickles while drinking sake. Sprinkling sansho pepper on the unaju added a stimulating flavor to the dish. We had a modest year-end gathering with sake, appetizers, and unaju at this long-established eel restaurant. Although the quality of service was not particularly high, "Akasaka Fukinuki" provided a relaxing dining experience with its spacious table seating. We were satisfied with the taste of the unaju.
