Revamping Unagi Delivery with JET CHEF: Freshly Cooked Meals Anywhere

Revolutionizing Unagi Delivery with JET CHEF

Tsukiji Unagi Shokudo is set to transform the way we enjoy unagi with its groundbreaking product, the hot chilled unagi meal, available for nationwide orders starting July 20, 2026. This innovative meal option, utilizing the patented JET CHEF container, allows customers to savor freshly cooked unagi without any need for fire or electricity. Just pull the string, and the meal is heated to the perfect temperature, ensuring a delicious dining experience.

From ‘Sending’ to ‘Serving Hot’

As the demand for unagi rises ahead of the Doyo no Ushi no Hi holiday, Tsukiji Unagi Shokudo presents a unique proposition. Instead of conventional frozen unagi, which requires thawing and heating, the new service delivers a complete unagi meal, freshly grilled and ready to enjoy with rice and sauce. This makes it perfect not just for personal consumption but also as gifts to loved ones or for special occasions like corporate meetings and training sessions.

The Essence of Quality: Blue-hand New Eels

At Tsukiji Unagi Shokudo, the focus is on quality. They select only the finest young eels, known as new eels, which are soft and delicate, sourced primarily from regions famous for their high-quality blue-hand eels. These eels deliver a tender texture, exquisite fat content, and remarkable mouthfeel. Leveraging a strong local network and years of expertise, they ensure that the unagi prepared at the restaurant maintains consistent high quality and supply.

The Innovation of JET CHEF

The JET CHEF container is a unique heating device developed by Tsukiji Unagi Shokudo. Unlike traditional methods which rely on microwaves or stoves, this patented technology activates the heating mechanism by simply pulling a string. This allows the unagi to be warmed to around 60 to 65 degrees Celsius, providing a hot meal experience even in settings without cooking facilities. It’s perfect for homes, meeting rooms, and event venues.
