You must have to pay a 300 yens cover and at least order 2 skewers. In the night is crowed is a very small bar. You can find in the same hall a few more restaurants. Good beer, good food.
The Place
At first glance, Kabuto looks unassuming, just like any other street stall. However, the perpetually-packed row of bar stools in this small stand in the middle of Omoide Yokocho bears testament to the food here. Only one thing is on the menu here - unagi, so you know it has to be good.
Insider Tips
Order the set of 7 skewers (¥1,850) for a gastronomic experience of the entire eel – including the head, fins and liver. Alternatively, you can also order your favourite parts of the unagi.

6 Oct 2019The restaurant is located in a small and narrow street, very nice but very touristic. I don't recommend you to try those places in general. After we ordered, we had to wait 45 minutes for our yakitori, which were were served not well cooked. Furthermore it's kinda expensive compared to other much more typical izakaya.

10 Jun 2018Piss Alley asthetic (grill smoke, street food) that's foreigner friendly. The woman working there is great at explaining things even with a language barrier and was extremely friendly. They only serve eel skewers but you can get head, tail, meat or a set of 7 that contain all. Total was just over 3000yen for 2 meat skewers, the 7 skewer set, two large beers and sochu. It's a bit expensive for what you get but you pay for the experience.

9 Mar 2020Many tourists take photos from apart, but they do not come nearby as to enter. BUT, I promise if YOU lose once-in-a-lifetime experience to try fresh eel's rare parts(thrown away parts), there will be no chance to try these with such price as ¥1300. (a set of five skewers)
