Isshiki Unagi (Eel)

The skin is soft, and the meat is plump. Isshiko eel, rich with high-quality fat, overflows with a sweet umami flavor the more you chew. Isshiki-cho, Nishio City, has been engaged in eel farming since 1904 and now boasts one of the highest production volumes per municipality for domestic eel in Japan. Because the young eels are carefully raised using clean water drawn from dedicated eel-farming waterways, the texture of the meat is supple and free of any unpleasant aftertaste. The warm climate facing Mikawa Bay is also ideal for raising eel. With the glossy sheen of sauce on a fragrantly grilled kabayaki, one bite brings an aroma and fatty sweetness that makes it impossible to stop eating rice. It is a single piece of Nishio's pride that you must taste at least once.
