About this spot
In Sugamo's quiet neighborhood, Unagi no Tsurumatsu serves grilled eel that is tender enough to melt without needing a knife. The kitchen prepares the fish over charcoal until the skin crisps while the inside remains succulent and richly flavored. This traditional spot captures the authentic spirit of Tokyo's old-school unagi houses.
π‘ Tips before you go
