Tomoei
About
Tomoei is a legendary, Michelin-starred culinary landmark near Hakone, renowned for serving some of Japan's finest unagi (grilled freshwater eel). Using pristine local spring water to prep the exceptionally thick, tender eel, the chefs glaze it in a rich, decades-old secret sauce. Expect a refined yet welcoming atmosphere with the option of Western-style tables or traditional tatami dining rooms.
Insider Tip
Book your eel in advance online; they often sell out of their premium 'Ao-unagi' hours before the restaurant actually closes.
