A lifetime of skewering, a lifetime of butchering, a lifetime of grilling
Five things that the fourth generation eel chef Kikugawa is particular about when it comes to his "single eel"
position
Tateba is a facility built to keep eels fresh since ancient times, using well water pumped from 200 meters underground. Eels that have been de-mudged using well water have no unpleasant odor and are of high quality.
The origin of everything lies in the history of protecting this facility, which has now been reduced to just a few for over 60 years. With the ability to discern high-quality eels inherited from our ancestors, we provide dishes of higher quality than anywhere else.
Connoisseur
"Unagi Yondaime Kikugawa" is run by a long-established wholesaler that has been in business for over 90 years and knows more about eels than anyone else.
We supply eels wholesale to many famous eel specialty restaurants.
Our long history has given us confidence in our selection of ingredients, and we only use safe and reliable eels.
Handling
At Unagi Yondaime Kikugawa, we prepare only the amount of eels ordered by customers.
Freshly slaughtered eel has soft flesh and no unpleasant odor, allowing you to enjoy the natural flavor of the eel to the fullest.
Grilled
It is grilled over a strong flame of binchotan charcoal. The way it is grilled so delicately in a short time is something only a skilled craftsman can do.
The flavor is concentrated, with a crispy and fragrant exterior and a fluffy, meaty texture inside, allowing you to enjoy the rich, fatty eel.
Sauce
The secret sauce of "Unagi Yondaime Kikugawa" has a concentrated flavor that combines the rich flavor of the fat from freshly grilled eel.
The rich sauce packed with secret umami flavor makes the eel even more delicious.
The kabayaki is of course recommended, but the shirayaki is also a must-try. It is grilled in a different way to the kabayaki, so you can enjoy the fragrant skin and the thick meat.
