What Makes Unagi no Mansuke Special?

At Unagi no Mansuke, we provide exquisite eel based on five core principles:
1. Quality Eel: We source only domestic eel, freshly delivered from a trusted wholesaler in Senju. Each eel is meticulously grilled to perfection upon ordering.
2. Distinct Sauce: Our specially crafted sauce is designed to accentuate the natural flavors of the eel. Its balanced sweetness enhances the grilled aroma without overpowering the dish.
3. Grilling Technique: We utilize a high-heat grilling method typical of Kansai, avoiding steaming to preserve the eel's rich flavors. Our patented grill technology (patent No. 7208716) replicates the heat characteristics of binchotan charcoal, achieving optimal cooking results that render the skin crispy yet tender.
4. Exceptional Rice: We only use Yaeha rice from Sasaya Farm, cultivated with pristine mountain spring water and organic compost, ensuring a perfect complement to our eel dishes.
5. Fresh Sansho Pepper: The unique flavor and vibrant color of our sansho pepper, milled from stone, are offered in individual packets to maintain their fragrance. Available in-store, we also provide freshly ground sansho from Wakayama.

In this vibrant neighborhood where tradition meets innovation, Unagi no Mansuke strives to deliver authentic flavors at practical prices, allowing everyone to enjoy this cherished dish.
