Unagiya Edonadai AMON 1 Mont Kiara store at 1 Mont Kiara
Location: Lot G, 1, 23A, Jalan Kiara, Mont Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
1 Mont Kiara
The menu covers unaju (grilled eel on rice in a lacquered box), unadon (grilled eel on rice in a bowl), hitsumabushi (Nagoya-style eel rice eaten in three ways), and unagi skewers. The eel is grilled over charcoal and basted with a sweet soy-based tare sauce, a process repeated multiple times for the characteristic caramelised glaze. Side dishes include Japanese pickles, miso soup, and chawanmushi. The restaurant may offer different grades of unagi from standard to premium. The interior references traditional Japanese unagi restaurant aesthetics with warm wood and eel-themed decor. The 1 Mont Kiara location serves the affluent, international Mont Kiara community.
An unaju meal costs between RM40 and RM80 depending on the eel grade and portion. The restaurant is busiest during weekend lunch and dinner. The hitsumabushi format, where the eel rice is eaten in three stages (plain, with condiments, and as ochazuke with broth), provides an interactive dining experience. The focus on unagi differentiates it from general Japanese restaurants.
