Enjoying Japanese Eel Delicacies and Drinks at Unatoto's New 'Totonomi' Night Concept

Experience the New 'Totonomi' Night at Unatoto

Unatoto, renowned for its delicious eel dishes, has taken an exciting turn in its dining experience. This March, marking its 25th anniversary, the restaurant introduced a new concept called 'Totonomi,' aimed at making evenings enjoyable with eel-inspired snacks and drinks. From August 28, new drink options were added to the menu, elevating your night out at Unatoto.

A Different Kind of Dining

When one thinks of Unatoto, eel rice bowls (unadon) come to mind. However, this establishment offers a unique opportunity for patrons to unwind with a drink after a long day. The focus of 'Totonomi' is to savor eel in smaller, snack-sized portions.

Some of the featured dishes include:

- Unagetsu: Bite-sized pieces of eel.
- Unakatsu Skewers: Crispy deep-fried eel skewers.
- Garlic Grilled Eel: A delightful skewer infused with garlic.
- Cheesy Eel Mayo: Eel topped with creamy cheese.

These dishes provide a new perspective on enjoying eel beyond the traditional unadon.

Affordable and Relaxing Atmosphere

Unatoto has embraced a casual dining essence with unbeatable prices. For example, you can enjoy:

- Drinks: A draft beer for 290 yen and a highball for 190 yen.
- Snacks: Eel liver skewer for 290 yen and a single piece of tartar fried chicken.

All for just 1,000 yen, including two drinks and two side options! Whether you're unwinding after work alone or sharing a light drink with colleagues, Unatoto's 'Totonomi' makes for a perfect evening.

Expanding Beverage Choices

Not only are they embracing eel-based drinks, but the latest addition includes a range of new beverages to pair perfectly with the unique snacks offered. For those who enjoy tea, Unatoto has introduced two types of tea-based cocktails, which have zero carbohydrates. These options include:

- Kyoto Green Tea 430 yen
- Roasted Barley Tea 430 yen
- Black Oolong Tea 430 yen
- Sesame Barley Tea 430 yen
- Jasmine Tea 380 yen

Each of these drinks complements the flavors of eel, allowing diners to enjoy a delightful pairing.

Burst of Flavors with Fruity Sorbet

For a refreshing twist, Unatoto now features 'Aragoshisour' drinks made with real fruit flesh such as mandarin, yuzu, and ginger, mixed with sparkling soda. These fizzy drinks provide a delightful burst of freshness that pairs perfectly with traditional fried snacks like fried potatoes and chicken tenders, creating a classic yet thrilling combination.

A Non-Alcoholic Option for Everyone

Understanding the growing trend of non-drinkers, Unatoto also caters to this audience with a selection of non-alcoholic drinks at a flat price of 330 yen. Options include:

- Lemon, plum, and citric acid sour.
- A variety of different teas.

Whether you choose to drink or not, you can enjoy an evening out at Unatoto. Those who opt not to drink can still enjoy the ambiance and join in on the toasts, making 'Totonomi' an inclusive experience for everyone.
