Wakamatsuya

The live eels are processed on the spot and grilled in a savory way over binchotan charcoal, giving them a plump texture and deep flavor. The taste is further enhanced by the secret sauce that has been handed down since the Showa period. The rich yet elegant flavor is well-received.

The restaurant is equipped with counter and table seating and welcomes customers with a warm atmosphere. Reservations are given priority, and single customers are also welcome. The actual restaurant looks brighter and cleaner than the official website, and the white wood counter is particularly attractive.

Wakamatsuya was a favorite haunt of Osamu Dazai when the first generation established the business in front of Mitaka Station between 1947 and 1948. It is said that writers gathered there to visit Dazai Osamu, and it also functioned as a place for literary exchange. It is known that many famous people, including Masuji Ibushi, Kazuo Dan, and Takaaki Yoshimoto, visited the restaurant.
