Affordable Charcoal grilled Unagi at Unatoto

If you're a fan of traditional Japanese unagi, let me share why UNATOTO has become one of my top picks in Singapore. The secret lies in their use of binchotan charcoal, which imparts a delicate smoky aroma while crisping the unagi's exterior beautifully — something I've rarely experienced elsewhere. The SG60 Unajyu Deluxe combines three thick slabs of this charcoal-grilled eel glazed with a special honjozo soy sauce, served on a bed of perfectly cooked pearl grain rice. The balance of texture—crispy outside and soft inside—is simply irresistible. For those wanting a more varied meal, the Novena Meal Set offers a generous spread with ebi tempura don alongside chicken skewers, beef, chawanmushi, wasabi edamame, and miso soup, making it an excellent choice for a fulfilling weekday dinner or weekend treat. Pairing it with their lemon sour adds a refreshing twist. Don’t miss the sweet ending: matcha warabimochi with ice cream drizzled with black honey, which complements the meal’s savory flavors. Also, keep an eye out for their complimentary cotton candy treats on weekends — a unique touch that adds a playful finish to the dining experience. Located conveniently at Velocity@Novena Square and Guoco Tower, UNATOTO offers an affordable yet authentic charcoal-grilled unagi experience that’s perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. If you’re looking for satisfying grilled eel dishes that deliver on taste and value, this place is definitely worth visiting.
