Aomono-yokocho, a neighborhood with a mix of high-rise apartments and tower offices, is home to many restaurants.
This time, we would like to introduce “Unagi Marutomi”, a small eel restaurant with only a counter in Aomono-yokocho.

The eel sticking out of the bowl really caught my eye!

After finishing work in the morning at Shinagawa Seaside, I looked for a restaurant in the area, but I couldn’t find one that suited me.
Looking at the map, I found that the Keikyu Aomono-yokocho Station was nearby, so I looked it up and found an eel restaurant that caught my eye.
That’s why I visited “Unagi Marutomi” in Minami-Shinagawa 3-chome.
What caught my eye was the size of the eel.
It seems that they only serve unadon for lunch, but from the pictures I saw online, the eel was completely sticking out of the bowl.

The unadon was even more impressive than the pictures on the internet!

There are four variations of unadon: “normal”, “double”, “large portion of rice” and “small portion of rice”, and I ordered the “normal” unadon.
The “normal” unadon that was brought in front of me was definitely not “normal”.
It had a thick, large eel (from Miyazaki Prefecture) that completely overflowed the bowl, just like the picture I had seen beforehand.

Compared to the steamed eel served in the Kanto style, this eel was grilled quite a bit, which was my favorite, and the unadon was a surprisingly cheap 3,050 yen (as of February 2023).
The exterior and interior of the restaurant looked like a quick-service soba noodle shop, and it was a small place with only 7 or 8 seats, but it was a special restaurant that served unadon with a large eel on top.

About Unagimarutomi

Unagi Marutomi is a long-established eel restaurant that was established in 1968.
The restaurant is small, with only a U-shaped counter, but it is constantly busy with customers.
It was also selected as one of the 100 best restaurants on Tabelog (2022), and although it is not a certain gyudon (beef bowl) chain, it is an eel restaurant that has all four of the following: delicious, fast, cheap, and huge!
There are quite a few eel restaurants in Tokyo that are considered to be reasonably priced, but considering that they use domestic eel and offer it at this price, I think they are one of the best in Tokyo.
If you visit this area, I would definitely recommend you try this eel restaurant.
