There’s a cheap unagi place in Shinbashi. It’s actually a chain with branches beyond Shinbashi, and all of the locations have a decent reputation.

Entrance

Pretty run-down looking.

Salad

Unadon

The eel itself isn’t spectacular, but once it’s glazed with sauce and grilled over charcoal it turns into that junk-food kind of addictive flavor. The rice is good too, of course… every now and then you just crave this.

Suimono (clear soup)

It was tasty. If you want a proper portion the price climbs to around 1,000 yen, but it’s worth it, and considering a real unadon runs about 3,000 yen, this is a great alternative.
