4. How to order

You will be asked if you want to take out or eat in. If you choose to take out, they will wrap it in a plastic bag, so if you want to win other prizes and eat at Sensoji Temple or other places, it is recommended to choose “take out.
When you order, you will be asked, “Do you want sansho on top?” you will be asked. It is a matter of taste, but I personally recommend sansho because it tastes so much better with sansho on it! I personally recommend Sansho! It will refresh your mouth and make it very tasty!
When you place your order, you will be told to come back in about 15 minutes to pick it up, so take a walk around the neighborhood.
Since Senso-ji Temple can also be reached from the west approach, there are many things to do on a nearby walk!

7. Finally: Tips for enjoying delicious unagi at Asakusa Unana
It is a tasty onigiri that you can eat right away, but it is good to have wet wipes because your hands can get dirty! Also, it will be very humid and damp in Japan from now on, so it would be good to have some sweat wipes!
