Yoshida Unagi (Eel)
There is a good reason why many locals proudly say, 'When it comes to eel, it's Yoshida Town.' During the Taisho era, rice paddies at the mouth of the Oi River were devastated by flooding, making it impossible to grow rice. This led to the start of eel farming, taking advantage of the abundant groundwater. A fish farming cooperative was formed in 1922, and after the war, the area grew into one of Japan's leading production sites. Eels raised under the subsoil water of the Oi River and a warm climate have little odor and firm, plump flesh. In town, numerous eel restaurants line the streets, offering the unique opportunity to taste both the Kanto-style steamed method and the Kansai-style grilled method. Lured by the fragrant aroma of the savory sauce, you will find yourself wanting to visit time and time again. Please come and enjoy the flavors of this eel-farming town, perfected over a century, right here on site.
