MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Iwajiro founded this restaurant at the end of the Edo period; 5th-generation Kanejiro Kanemoto keeps alive the family culinary legacy. Edo-style kabayaki, which adds a steaming process to the grilling, is fragrant and tender; it’s served on Wajima lacquer ware, and the sophisticated flavour goes well with the salty sauce. The shirayaki eloquently expresses the gratitude of this long-established restaurant to the customers who’ve supported it over the years.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Ishibashi has carried on the same traditions over four generations, since its foundation in 1910. The chef doesn’t start cutting the unagi until the customer is seated, and steams it before grilling, in the Kanto style. The caramel-coloured unagi richly encapsulates the charm of Edo culinary culture. We recommend the Tokujo (Deluxe), which packs generous amounts of unagi into a traditional stacking box. A full range of snacks includes pickles marinated in well-aged rice bran, and honesenbei.
