Unagi Cuisine Specialty Restaurant Kawasho

Founded in 1981, “Unagi Cuisine Specialty Restaurant Kawasho” is a specialty eel restaurant dedicated to both tradition and innovation. It has evolved with the times while further refining its flavors. The eel is carefully sourced from the finest producing regions according to the season. One of its defining features is the chance to enjoy both Kansai-style kabayaki, shaped by training in Kansai, and a Kanto-style grilling method passed down from Sendai.

A popular menu item is the “Golden Unadon,” where eel is wrapped in rich, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth egg. The restaurant is also known for serving “Unasashi” (eel sashimi), thanks to devoted research in Sendai since its founding. Other options include the “Shiro Tozai-ju,” featuring steamed eel enjoyed with wasabi soy sauce, and the “Shiro Kabayaki-ju,” which lets you enjoy three different grilling styles in one box. The menu is broad and full of distinctive creations.

The restaurant has a charming traditional house-style exterior made using reclaimed materials from a soy sauce brewery. Inside, the space blends Japanese and modern design in a refined setting. Every seat is in a fully private room, so you can relax completely while savoring eel. It is a place where you can encounter both traditional flavors and new discoveries.
