Sawamoto
Sawamoto Review
Charcoal-broiled unagi (eel) is an acquired taste, and there's no better place in Nikko to acquire it than at this restaurant. The place is small and unpretentious, with only five plain-wood tables, and service can be lukewarm, but Sawamoto is reliable for a light lunch or dinner of unagi on a bed of rice, served in an elegant lacquered box. Eel is considered a stamina builder: just right for the weary visitor on a hot summer day.
