With 20 grilled eel restaurants (Unagi) in Japan, Miyagawa Honten, which first started in Tokyo 125 years ago now has its first-ever overseas outlet here in Singapore and named it Unagiya Ichinoji.

The 34-seater restaurant serves Unagi in three different styles: Hitsumabushi, Seiro Mushi and Mamushi Donburi. Hitsumabushi is a signature dish served at Miyagawa Honten’s outlets in Japan. 

Uya Singapore at Wheelock Place is a 90-seater restaurant which specialises in grilled live unagi (freshwater eels). It’s opened by the people behind Koji restaurant at Pickering Street, which is known for its chirashi don. 

Uya is a local collaboration with an experienced unagi distributor from Nagoya, Japan.

The eels are sourced from both Japan & Taiwan and transported live to Singapore, where they are prepared daily in the restaurant and grilled over binchotan charcoal.

There is a glass panel at the front of the restaurant where you can watch the chefs in action.
