Japan Trip Day 5 - Dinner at Izuei Honten, Ueno -> Ameyoko

Had Unagi Kabayaki for dinner at Izuei Honten, a 260 year old Unagi Specialist since it was wtihin walking distance from our Hotel.
We were given a private room on the 6th floor with very personal service. The waitress refused to let us keep our shoes in the shoe rack. She insisted on doing it. And after dinner, she placed all our shoes very nicely outside the room. This is really service!
Looking at the menu.


I printed some drink coupons from their website and we were given free soft drinks (Each costed 367yen).

All of us ordered the Eel box - broiled eel served over rice in a lacquered box (with liver soup and pickles). It came with green tea. うな重(きも吸、香の物付) Each costed ¥1,785.

Very nice texture and very well done. Very delicious.


Liver soup

Pickles

Because we used the coupons, we had to settle the bill by cash but no issue since we had free drinks anyway.

Ameyoko (アメ横) is a famous street market between Ueno and Okachimachi, right beside the JR lines









Popular Okonomi-yaki at Ameyoko (アメ横) - did not have a chance to taste it as we were already full from the delicious dinner at Izuei Honten.
