Hikota is a small, old-school unagi (eel) specialty restaurant tucked down a narrow alley beside its own retail storefront in Senda, Koto City. Founded roughly 90 years ago, it retains a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere: tatami seating, wooden tables, and the smell of eel grilling right at the shop entrance. The menu is intentionally minimal, built around grilled eel over rice in three sizes — unadon, unaju, and jo-unaju — served with liver soup and pickles. It draws a loyal neighborhood following and also sells takeaway eel bento boxes from the front counter.
