Nodaya Description
Nodaya, located in front of the Kishibojin Gate in the historical neighborhood of Iriya, Tokyo, is a renowned restaurant specializing in eel cuisine. With a history dating back to the Meiji era, Nodaya is the flagship store of the Kanto Unagi Ryorinin Sohonke (Kanto Eel Cooking Master's Headquarters). Led by the head of the Sohonke, the skilled chefs at Nodaya showcase their mastery of the culinary arts through their exquisite preparation of eel dishes.
What sets Nodaya apart from other dining establishments is their commitment to preserving the traditional techniques of the 'takumi no waza' (artisan's skills). The eel is expertly grilled to perfection, resulting in a golden-brown color and a tantalizing aroma. The Kanto-style 'Edo-yaki' eel, known for its bold and savory sauce, is a crowd favorite. For those with a preference for a sweeter flavor, the Kansai-style 'Jiyaki' eel, along with the restaurant's unique 'Iwajio-yaki' eel, are highly recommended.
In addition to their exceptional eel dishes, Nodaya also offers a carefully curated selection of sake and other beverages to complement the flavors of the cuisine. The restaurant's interior exudes a traditional Japanese ambiance, with a 'live kitchen' in the newly renovated annex where guests can witness the chefs' culinary skills firsthand. Please note that due to the restaurant's commitment to quality, the dishes are prepared upon order, so a little extra time may be required. Embark on a culinary journey and savor the true essence of eel cuisine at Nodaya.

I recommend visiting here when you experience the special way to eat japanese eel. Nodaya is a famous restaurant which has long history to cook eel traditionally.
After you choose your dish, you can check which eel is yours by employee and owner come to you to explain where eel is from and the size of eel.
But I think it is expensive and you have to wait for 30minutes after ordering yours so you need enough time to stay there. I recommend making a reservation.
It is closed to both tokyo metro station and JR line. After or before visiting Sky tree, eat eel.
Have a nice trip!

Enjoyed Unaju with kansai-style kabayaki of Kyosui unagi eel.
Kyosui unagi is one of the most famous brands of Japanese cultured eel. It has less fats, strong taste and almost no smell.
Vinegar marinated unagi and matsumaezuke are also nice.
