Edogawa Ishibashi

Having been disappointed in finding our intended destination closed, we arrived at this restaurant and were able to walk in and dine. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind, and the hospitality offered at this intimate and traditionally spartan venue was matched by the food. The Unagi itself was incredible, soft flesh and delicately crisped skin in a Tokyo style sauce, and the portions were generous. The starters and broth were of an equally high standard. A must for any visitor is the homemade Umeshu which had the perfect balance of sharp plum fruit and light sweetness.

This place is one of the best high end eel restaurant in Tokyo, in my opinion. The quality is comparable to Ichinoya and Nodaiwa.
