Restaurant · Narita (Omotesando)

Kikuya 菊屋

A long-established Omotesando restaurant from the mid-Edo period, whose name comes from a chrysanthemum crest granted by Naritasan. Certified domestic eel, tempura and Japanese set meals, and unusually long hours until evening.

About

Kikuya has fed Naritasan pilgrims since the middle of the Edo period, and its name is said to come from the chrysanthemum crest given to the house by the temple. Eel is the headline, using only eels with certificates of origin, served as unadon or the more generous unaju, but the menu is broader than at the eel specialists, with tempura, soba and seasonal set meals, which makes it a good choice for groups with mixed appetites. It is right on the busiest stretch of Omotesando near the Tourist Pavilion and stays open later than most of its neighbours, so it is a reliable dinner option for anyone staying the night in Narita.

Highlights

• Mid-Edo-period roots and a crest granted by Naritasan
• Certified domestic eel as unadon or unaju
• Broad menu with tempura and set meals for mixed groups
• Open into the evening when much of Omotesando is shut

Tips

• Last orders around 20:00; may close early when ingredients run out, especially at weekends
• Unadon is the cheaper way to try Narita eel
• A good alternative when the Kawatoyo queue is too long
