Wakasa Unagi (Eel)
The shores of Lake Mikata have long been known as a treasure trove of seafood. Among its many specialties, Wakasa's most famous is the fragrantly grilled eel. The local style follows the Kansai method: grilling slowly over Binchotan charcoal without steaming first. The secret sauce passed down since the shop's founding, combined with the gentle heat of the charcoal, ensures the skin is aromatic and the meat is fluffy. Established in the Meiji or Showa era, long-standing shops continue to showcase their skills, preserving this flavor through four generations. A unique pleasure here is being able to taste 'Kuchiboso Ao-unagi' (wild eel) from Lake Mikata during the fishing season. Enjoy the kabayaki, coated in a glossy glaze, alongside freshly cooked rice. This is a dish we truly want you to experience in Wakasa, nurtured by both lake and sea.
