¥¥ ・ Unagi / Freshwater Eel
MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
An old wooden sign catches the eye: ‘Unagi – eat this, and there is no need for medicine.’ This reflects the founder’s belief in eel as a nourishing food. The fourth-generation chef honours tradition while adapting to the present. The Unatsugu-ju carries the spirit of passing eel culture to the future, with efforts to release juvenile eels into the sea to replenish wild stocks. In step with the times, a counter seat offers a view of the craftsmen at work.
