Experience the rare opportunity to observe and touch live eels up close, followed by a captivating live performance showcasing the traditional eel preparation process. You'll get to taste the pure flavour of eel through “Shirayaki”—grilled without sauce—a delicacy even most Japanese rarely enjoy. This is served with freshly grated wasabi that you prepare yourself, and optionally paired with specially selected Japanese sake (additional fee).
The highlight of this culinary experience is the Unajū—grilled eel served over rice with a secret sauce—prepared by a master chef with over 40 years of experience in traditional Japanese cuisine.
Kawagoe offers easy access from central Tokyo, just 30 minutes by train, and features charming streets reminiscent of Kyoto or Kamakura, evoking the atmosphere of the Edo period. We also recommend combining this tour with a morning visit to Chichibu or Moomin Valley Park, followed by an evening stroll through Kawagoe’s historic townscape.
