Since the restaurant opened in 1952, we have been using the same secret and original sauce, made without the sweet sake commonly used at other unagi restaurants.
Our eel is domestically sourced, mainly from Sadowara in the South Kyusyu area of Miyazaki prefecture. Occasionally additional eel is acquired from other areas of Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefecture.
Please also enjoy our delicious rice, “Hitachi Odamai Rice” which is grown with plenty of blessings from the foot of Mt. Tsukuba. This locally renowned rice is famous for glossy, fluffy, sweet and sticky texture.
Our restaurant serves “Budou-sansho”, Japan’s most elegant and highest quality pepper, uniquely grown and harvested only in Kisyu-Wakayama. Known for its characteristic rich but cool aromatic and savory flavor, we recommend including it between grilled eel and rice.
