Chikuyoutei Ginza 竹葉亭 銀座店@Tokyo ★

Traditional Unagi Restaurant in Ginza. People already lined up outside of the restaurant before it opened. Unagi was not as fatty as I thought. I think I am used to the more fatty ones in United States. Service wasn't very nice.  My favorite Unagi restaurant is 肥前屋 in Taiwan.
