Kawatoyo

Long-running Omotesando eel restaurant where grilled unagi is part meal, part street theatre.

Kawatoyo is one of the classic eel restaurants on Naritasan Omotesando. The draw is not only the unagi over rice, but the open-front preparation: fish split and grilled where passing visitors can see and smell what is coming.

Queues are common at busy times. If you are short on time before a flight, eat early or choose another Omotesando eel shop rather than turning lunch into a risk.
