Get a 2-for-1 eel meal deal at grilled eel rice bowl chain Meidai Unatoto opening in Akihabara

Japanese grilled eel on rice is a dish that can polarize opinions. Some have reservations about eating the slippery snake-like fish, no matter how it is prepared. But for those who appreciate it, the eel filets, basted in a sweetened soy-based tare sauce, then caramelized over a charcoal fire as they are grilled kabayaki style, are a special treat, and one which has become more accessible and affordable thanks in part to chain restaurants such as 名代宇奈とと Meidai Unatoto.

Unadon Double Buy 1 Get 1 Free

If you are one of the first 100 to show up, and you send a friend request to Meidai Unatoto's official LINE account at @宇奈とと (or are already friends, in which case you need to show your screen), when you buy Meidai Unatoto's "Unadon Double," which is unadon with twice the usual amount of eel, you'll get another "Unadon Double" free. You can opt to eat one bowl in-store and take one home, or even take both of them home with you. This deal is not available for delivery, so even if you don't want to eat in-store, you'll still need to stop by to order.

Total Price: 1,000 JPY (incl. tax)
