Product Info
Enjoy affordable Japanese eel in a traditional detached house setting! Savor dishes crafted with carefully selected ingredients.◎
Opened on April 28, 2023! With the concept of 'making occasional eel an everyday treat,' Unagi no Himekawa offers eel, known for its health and beauty benefits, at a reasonable price. To provide Japanese eel affordably, we use eel farmed overseas, and we are meticulous about every ingredient, such as using 'Nara-grown Hinohikari' rice and Sekigahara tamari soy sauce for our sauce. The first floor features a Japanese-style tatami room, and the second floor offers table seating, all within a Japanese-inspired atmosphere. Takeout is also available.◎ Feel free to drop by and enjoy a hearty meal.
The secret to our low prices is that Japanese eel fry are raised in a carefully selected environment overseas under the supervision of Japanese chefs. We use only the finest water, which results in an exquisite eel with little odor and an exquisite amount of fat. Japanese eels are rare even in Japan due to the strict import standards. Eels are rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals, DHA, and EPA, and are said to be good for beauty and health. Please feel free to enjoy our eels! We serve them in the Kanto style, steamed and then grilled until crispy.
The rice used is "Hinohikari" from Nara Prefecture. This high-quality rice, rated A4 rank or above, has a chewy texture, sweetness, and aroma that you can enjoy. The sauce that goes with it is made using high-quality, rich Sekigahara tamari soy sauce, which is carefully simmered for a long time using a unique ratio and recipe. It has a refreshing taste. ◎ Try adding some grape sansho pepper from Wakayama Prefecture as an accent. Enjoy it from various angles, such as the unique umami of sansho pepper that you can feel gradually and the harmony with the eel.
The "Unaju Tokujo" uses a whole large Japanese eel! It's a volume that will surely satisfy even men. The "Unaju Jo" uses half a carefully selected eel. It is grilled after receiving your order, so you can enjoy piping hot eel that is fragrant on the outside and fluffy on the inside. ◎ We recommend the set of carefully selected Nara pickles and soup ◎ It goes perfectly with Wakayama Prefecture's grape sansho pepper, known as the green diamond! It is also available as a takeout lunch. Large portions of rice are also available.
We have a wide variety of beer brands, so please order one for your first drink. Our four types of sake are a perfect match for the adult-flavored shirayaki grilled eel. We recommend a dry sake for the eel. We also have non-alcoholic drinks, so even those who don't drink alcohol can enjoy them. Our shop has a relaxing Japanese atmosphere, and we have tatami rooms and table seating, making it suitable for a variety of occasions, from everyday use to sightseeing. Feel free to order takeout so you can enjoy authentic flavors at home.
