Nodaiwa Azabu Iikura Honten

The crispy pork with Sichuan peppercorns has a strong Sichuan peppercorn flavor. The crispy pork is a bit tender and goes well with rice, but it’s a bit too salty, so I didn’t eat much of it. I had dinner too early, and I’m hungry again after watching a drama…

Today’s focus is to recommend an eel rice restaurant! Nodaiwa is within walking distance of Tokyo Tower. It has a history of more than 200 years and has one Michelin star. The restaurant is small and the menu is simple, with various eel rice sets, but it is really delicious! It is a restaurant that I will eat every time I go to Tokyo!

Michelin one star restaurant. You can see Tokyo Tower across the street from here. The seats in the restaurant are a bit small, but the service is very good. We both ordered grilled eel, which tasted very good. The eel was steamed first and then grilled, which was relatively light, different from the eel rice style in Kansai, and those who like heavy flavors may not be used to it.

The whole juicy eel is placed on the rice, and the aroma of the roasted eel in the air immediately arouses your appetite. The owner is one of the "three gods" in Tokyo's food industry. The prices are affordable, the service is polite, and you may even meet Mr. Kanemoto Kanejiro.

The restaurant is located at 1-5-4 Higashi Azabu 106-0044, Minato-ku, Tokyo. It is the restaurant of the God of Eel and you must check it in. It is very close to Tokyo Tower. When I went there, the main restaurant was full, so I was taken to the annex next to it. The eel is steamed first and then grilled, which is relatively light. It is different from the eel rice style in Kansai. People who like heavy flavors will not be used to it.
