Taste the Finest UNAGI for Your Special Day
Tsukuba Japanese UNAGI
Experience authentic Japanese UNAGI — tender, fragrant freshwater eel grilled over charcoal — a dish cherished for centuries.
Raised in the crystal-clear waters of Southern Kyushu, our UNAGI has a pure, clean flavor with no odor.
Since 1952, our signature sauce has been continuously refined and deepened, creating a taste that’s rich and unforgettable.
Every bowl is served with locally grown Hitachi Oda rice from Tsukuba — soft, aromatic, and the perfect match for our UNAGI.
