Lonely Planet review for Izu-Ei

Izu-ei specialises in unagi, which you can take in two ways: in a bentō that includes tempura and pickled vegetables; or charcoal-grilled, sauced and laid on a bed of steamed rice, as unagi purists might insist. Try to get seated near an upstairs window for the best views of the large lily pads of nearby Shinobazu-ike.

    Great food, authentic atmosphere! Defninite must!

    txzach recommends this,

    After seeing unagi prepared on Bizarre foods, I knew I had to have it on my visit to Tokyo. The restaurant is a little hard to find as it is on the 5th floor of the building, but as soon as they saw me with my guidebook I was pointed in the right direction.
    I had griled Unagi over a bed of rice and it was fantastic. Probably fresh enough to have been swimming the same morning the unagi was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The miso soup was some of the best I have ever tasted and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. The prices were reasonable, not cheap, but not expensive either. Defintely worth a special trip to the area if you are in the mood for Unagi.
