Why we point you here

Michelin-charted unagi in Tokyo, worth the detour for freshwater eel done right.

Hatsuogawa is the kind of place that reminds you why unagi deserves its own pilgrimage. Michelin keeps it charted with a Bib Gourmand, a signal that this is freshwater eel worth building a night around—Tokyo precision, fair prices, and the sort of craft that makes you glad you roam.
