I like Nodaiwa.

Don't like Kanesaka or other sushi restaurants of its ilk. I am not surprised that concierges would recommend it. (What do they know? Do they get a cut?) The prices stated in the Michelin guide or wherever are not correct. They charged up to 60k a person when I went there.

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a mom and pop eel place in Kagurazaka and it was pretty good. It was actually an yakitori and eel joint. I think the bill was like 7k for two people.

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?
