Authentic Eel Flavor at Its Finest
The prized Aote unagi is sourced from eel farms in Mikawa, Aichi Prefecture. Using the distinctive "jiyaki method," the eel is grilled directly over charcoal rather than steamed, creating a fragrant exterior and a plump, tender center. Removing excess moisture brings the natural umami to the forefront, showcasing skilled preparation that highlights the ingredient's quality.
A Relaxing Space with a Calm Japanese Ambiance
The interior presents a calm Japanese atmosphere, providing a relaxed setting for unhurried dining. Thoughtful seating arrangements and lighting enhance the space, while roll screens can separate neighboring tables for added privacy. The versatile setting suits a range of occasions, including meals with friends and special anniversaries.
