Affordable Luxury Unagi in Kagurazaka

A new eatery, Unagi no Mansuke, is set to open its doors on April 19, 2026, bringing a unique dining experience to the heart of Kagurazaka, Tokyo. With a mission to create new value through food and pursue happiness for everyone involved, this venture by Warm Inc. offers premium domestically sourced eels at an accessible price point.

The Essence of Unagi no Mansuke

Concept: Unagi no Mansuke aims to make fine eel, traditionally seen as a luxury, an everyday delicacy. The establishment's focus is on serving fresh, domestic eels grilled in the authentic Kansai style, without the common step of steaming. This dedication enhances the flavor of the eels while also ensuring a crispy texture on the outside and tenderness on the inside.

At Unagi no Mansuke, customers can enjoy high-quality eels, sourced directly every morning from trusted wholesalers in Senju. The cooking technique, which utilizes high-temperature direct grilling, captures the natural flavors and richness of the unagi. The restaurant leverages advanced technology from Ushio Seisakusho to create an electric grill that achieves temperatures exceeding 1000°C, replicating the heat qualities of traditional charcoal, resulting in eels that are both flavorful and perfectly textured.

Unique Offerings

Unagi no Mansuke prides itself on its freshness and quality:
1. Eel Selection: Only domestically sourced eels, carefully selected, are used. Each order is grilled to perfection.
2. Special Sauce: The house sauce is crafted to complement and enhance the unagi's natural flavors with a balanced sweetness, highlighting the grilled aroma.
3. Grilling Technique: Utilizing a unique electric heat source, the grilling process ensures a crunchy skin and tender meat without the steaming process typical in many eel dishes.
4. Rice Quality: The rice served is sourced from Sasaya Farm, known for its organic growing methods and excellent absorption of flavors, enhancing the overall dining experience.
5. Special Sansho Pepper: Guests can enjoy freshly ground sansho pepper, prepared to maintain its aromatic qualities, further enhancing the dish's flavors.
