I was craving eel again and it satisfied my appetite. Whew! It was quite good, though a bit sweeter than the typical version I enjoy. The pork dish, however, was only average…
Hitsumabushi Nagoya-Bincho is a dedicated eel restaurant on the 8th floor of Ikebukuro PARCO, specialising in the Nagoya classic hitsumabushi, which is finely chopped grilled eel served over rice in a wooden tub. What sets this restaurant apart is its commitment to the traditional Nagoya method: the eel is grilled over binchotan charcoal without being steamed first, yielding a crisp exterior and tender interior that is distinctly different from the steamed style more common in the Kanto region. The dish is meant to be eaten in four stages: first plain to appreciate the eel's natural flavour, then with condiments such as wasabi, nori and spring onion, then with dashi broth poured over the top, and finally whichever way you prefer. The restaurant uses a distinctive tamari-based sauce, richer and more concentrated than standard soy-based glazes, which gives the eel its deep, savoury character. The restaurant is open from 11:00 to 22:00 with last orders at 21:00. Reservations are recommended, especially at weekends and during the summer eel season. The PARCO Main Building is directly connected to Ikebukuro Station's east exit. Budget around 5,000 yen or below per person for a satisfying meal.

After reading a review, I decided to try it myself and ordered the weekday hitsumabushi set featuring three‑quarters of an eel for ¥51,000. My companion upgraded to the deluxe version, adding ¥30,000 for a more luxurious experience.

The service was friendly and the cuisine was excellent. There were three distinct ways to enjoy grilled eel, and finishing the meal with a soup poured over it was especially refreshing.

The unagi was delicious. The final dish with soup was outstanding, with a subtle smoky flavor. The atmosphere was only average, as it was located inside a shopping mall.

Enjoyed the unagi rice set, which offers several serving styles described on a small card at each table. The classic grilled version is my favorite; the crispy unagi bone is a standout—perfect with a cold beer or soda. The unagi egg roll is also delicious and freshly prepared. A must‑try for any fan of eel.
