Product Info

The unaju served at our restaurant is made with the "Kanto Steaming" method, which maximizes the flavor of the eel. First, the eel is steamed, then coated in sauce and grilled in a two-step cooking method. This effort makes the meat plump and tender, and the sweet and spicy flavor of the sauce blends in exquisitely. This method allows the fat from the eel to render out just enough, resulting in a more refined flavor.
Eel is a versatile ingredient with no part of it wasted. Eel helps to recover from fatigue and improves immunity. I feel that it is a "gift from God." I give thanks to the life of the eel as I cut each piece, and by steaming it slowly, I bring out the delicate flavor of the eel.
The first owner, Kiyoto Kuwabara, left his hometown of Kyoto in his early twenties and moved to Shizuoka. Through personal connections, he worked for five years in the skewering area at the processing plant of "Sanwa Tansui Gyo", which wholesales processed eels to department stores across the country and eel shops in Tokyo. As he gained experience, he became fascinated by the techniques of eel craftsmen. After that, he joined the craftsmen's association and worked in skewering, skewering and grilling at a famous restaurant in Mishima and a long-established restaurant in Tokyo for 15 years, building up a track record. He felt that the path of an eel craftsman, which has no end to its skills, was his life, and he opened his own restaurant in his hometown of Kyoto on August 14, 2024.
We use Kishu Binchotan charcoal to grill our eels. Kishu Binchotan charcoal has a high level of infrared radiation, which quickly and evenly grills the surface, locking in all the delicious flavor inside. The flavor and taste brought out by the power of the charcoal fire is truly exceptional.
