Yamadaya — Restaurant in Tokyo

Found this establishment by typing in unagi on Google Maps. Looked unlit and closed from the outside but we could see the elderly couple in the back room and the front door was unlocked, so we politely announced ourselves.

Another reviewer said this is the 4th generation proprietor and the perfection of this meal confirms it! The idiot that gave this place a 1 star review obviously should have gone some place else if he wanted a different style food. The only thing that deserves a 1 star...
