Kanto or Kansai style? Enjoy both in Shizuoka.

About Unaju (Grilled eel over rice in a lacquered box)

Shizuoka is known for its eel. The mild climate and plentiful groundwater make the area well suited to raising eel, and the area around Lake Hamana became a major eel-producing region. Hamamatsu has many long-established eel restaurants, some with more than 100 years of history. You can enjoy both Kansai-style unaju, with belly-split eel grilled until crisp and served with a sweet sauce, and Kanto-style unaju, with back-split eel steamed until tender and served with a lighter sauce.
