Also, is Nodaiwa for eel the best choice? Again, they all recommend it. When we used to stay at Grand Hyatt Tokyo, we always went to Yaotoku (now apparently called Unagi-Toku) and loved it. Anyone able to compare to Nodaiwa?
Yes, the entire Kanesaka group is excellent. My favorite is Mao at the Seiyo Ginza, which will be reopening in another location after the hotel has closed (perhaps under a new name, but otherwise unchanged). I prefer Mao to the honten because it has an even nicer atmosphere and it is easier to get a reservation, but it is a bit more expensive. You will not be disappointed by Kanesaka at the Palace hotel either.
