5 Grilled-Skewer Set
A rare assortment featuring Kabuto (head), Kimo (guts), Hire (fins), Tanjaku (short cut), and Reba (liver)—each highlighting a different texture and flavor of the eel.
Our Philosophy — “Eel brings stamina, and stamina means eel.”
Our mission is for people to eat eel and become healthy in both body and mind. Asakusa Unatetsu, located in Asakusa where the atmosphere of Edo culture remains, proudly serves you the traditional Japanese dish “unagi”.
Asakusa Unatetsu's Commitment

◆Eels
In the eel business, there’s a saying:
“Three years to master skewering, five years to master cleaning, a lifetime to master grilling.”
Each eel has its own character, requiring subtle adjustments to flame strength, grilling time, and sauce timing. Using premium binchotan charcoal, our chefs create a mellow yet powerful flavor—one that defines the Unatetsu taste. |

◆Flavor
Since opening, we have perfected the secret sauce recipe—a carefully balanced blend of mirin and soy sauce simmered over a controlled flame, with any scum skimmed off.
This meticulous process results in a deep, rich flavor that matures over time. |
