“Kikuya restaurant grilled eel”
Narita area is famous for eels and this is most well known restaurant along the road approaching the temple called Kikuya. Sliced eels are skewered, broiled and steamed brushed with sweet sauces then broiled again for very soft, delicious aroma and flavor.

“This popular local fair is”
This popular local fair is a bit pricy in this tourist area. I decided to order a half size order for lunch and had a choice of eel from Taiwan ($2500) or eel from Japanese waters ($300). I personally couldn’t tell you the difference between the two nor do I believe that eel caught in Japanese wat...ers is especially superior. Service was great. English menu available.

“Spectacular Eel!”
Stopped by for dinner on a Thursday night and there was no wait. Walked right in and were greeted by warm and friendly English speaking staff. We LOVE eel and were excited to eat at a restaurant that features it. We ordered the Japanese eel half order which came with tea, rice, soup, and Japanese pi...ckles. The eel was amazing and we felt the prices were super reasonable for the quality of food. This place is over 100 years old and if you love eel, put this place on your itinerary!

“Lovely old restaurant, excellent eel”
It’s an ancient-looking little restaurant in the loveliest street of Narita (a nice town that would deserve more attention). The atmosphere is very romantic, the staff, unusually for Japan, speak good English. I ordered the eel, famous local specialty, with rice and miso and I added vegetable tempur...a. It was all delicious and well presented. Complimentary tea was unlimited. The service was fast and accurate, the price reasonable. They accept credit cards. To try.

“Cozy Traditional Dining ”
Was planning on coming here for a good meal when I had a layover in Narita. In addition to being conveniently close to Naritasan temple, this place oozes traditional atmosphere and is cozily comfortable at the same time. Right outside and next door there were chefs who were preparing unagi as well (...not for those who are easily queasy). The unagi don was deliciously simple yet satisfying. The eel was soft and fresh and the flavors was good. Cost was a bit on the pricier side than I expected, but I am happy to have stopped here for an authentic traditional unagi don while in Japan
