Traditional unagi and Tabelog 100 #14
Traditional unagi defines Uotoku, and Tabelog placed it at #14 in its 2024 Restaurant 100 with 3.7 points. That credential makes this a focused choice for eel in Nikko.
Unadon, unagi bento, and grilled eel liver
Unadon, unagi bento, and grilled eel liver give the order a narrow eel focus. Local sourcing and sake support a meal built around the restaurant’s core cuisine.
467 Imaichi with quiet, leisurely pacing
467 Imaichi is the setting, with a standalone historic building, quiet atmosphere, and leisurely pacing. Casual dress and upscale casual service keep lunch or dinner practical without a formal dress requirement.
