This traditional eatery delights with a focused menu that showcases the rich flavors and tender textures of expertly grilled eel, inviting gourmets and food adventurers to savor a taste of heritage.

Mains

Hatsuogawa’s mains showcase the true essence of traditional unagi cuisine through several expertly crafted dishes.

For those seeking a purer taste, the White Grilled Eel highlights the eel’s natural flavor enhanced simply with salt, capturing a minimalist Japanese grilling perfection. Another highlight is the Grilled Eel with Beer, a distinctive dish where the eel is grilled with a blend of beer and special sauce, delivering a rich, slightly malty depth that complements the tender eel beautifully.
