For over 90 years since our founding, we have faced countless eels as a long-established wholesaler, honing our expertise to select the perfect eel based on the ideal taste and texture. We use carefully selected eel that can only be enjoyed here.
Tateba – a storage facility for eels, preserved and protected by generations of our family. Here, eels take a rest in water drawn from a 200-meter-deep well. Rinsing them in well water removes their characteristic odor and refines the quality of the ingredients.
The key to delicious eel is freshness above all. To maximize the natural flavor of the ingredients, we carry out thorough quality control. Each eel is filleted at our stores to achieve a soft, fluffy texture—a true sign of its freshness.
We grill each eel over high heat for a short time to lock in its natural flavor. The skin becomes crispy, the flesh fluffy, and with each bite, the rich fat melts in your mouth. Enjoy our "Crisp. Fluffy. Melt." eel experience.
We prepare a light sauce that complements the rich, fatty eel. Each eel is dipped in our "secret sauce," a recipe we have carefully preserved since our founding. Over the long years, this proud sauce has been perfected to harmonize beautifully with the rich fat of our thick, succulent eel.
To let you witness firsthand the eel preparation techniques we have honed alongside Japan's culinary culture, every one of our stores features a live kitchen. We continue to pursue a clean, comfortable, and distinctly Japanese dining space, unlike traditional eel restaurants.
