Obana, Tokyo

Obana has been a local favorite through five generations of owners; it serves generous portions of incredibly fresh, delicious unagiya. Even better, the eels are caught in the wild, not farmed. There is often a line so be prepared to wait and as the restaurant follows the ancient traditions of preparing and cooking the fish, there is a considerable wait after you have ordered. But it is truly worth it and it's a great opportunity to eat authentic, age-old Japanese cuisine with a dining room full of enthusiastic locals. Private rooms are also available for groups.
