I'm a really huge fan of unagi, and there's that few brands that people usually talk about - Man Man, Una Una, Uya and Unagiya Ichinoji. I've finally tried all 4, but definitely open to trying more if any of you have good recommendations!

This is prob their signature that most should try when you're there, and there's a few ways to eat it as written in their menu - either as it is without adding anything, or adding some of the condiments (spring onion, wasabi, nori), or make Ochazuke (rice with soup) with their dashi broth.

I quite liked the light crisp that was present on the skin of some unagi pieces, and there was a light smokey flavour as well. Overall the eel was soft and I also liked the sauce used with their eel and rice, which added flavour. Portion was quite decent too.

Tbh can't remember how Man Man taste like to compare, but pricewise both are about the same, and they are prob of similar standards from what I can remember (?). Una Una is the more affordable option, and Unagiya being a much "cleaner" unagi with less bold flavours (which I personally am not a fan of but some might love it that way)

Overall Rating: 8/10
