About Eel
In Japan, there has been a traditional food culture to have Kabayaki (broiled
eel) for a long time. The Kabayaki is broiled eel tasted by unique source
mixed with soy-source, Mirin (sweet sake) and sake (Japanese wine) and
it is very popular in this country. People in Japan have enjoyed Kabayaki
in several ways; in winter, they have eel with plenty of fat, and in summer,
they gain stamina with hearty eel. Our restaurant gets the highest quality
of living eel from Miyazaki and Shizuoka-prefecture and our disciplined
cookers serve original Kabayaki through the full cooking processes from
dressing and broiling every day. We hope you will enjoy our savory Kabayaki
