Kochi Grilled Eel

Kochi Grilled Eel introduction

When people think of Kochi, the first thing that comes to mind is usually bonito fish, but Kochi’s grilled eel (うなぎ, unagi) is also a local specialty. Prepared using the Kansai-style belly-slicing technique, the eel is cooked to perfection with a crisp outer layer and tender, fluffy interior. One bite, and you’ll be hooked! Kochi is home to premium brands of eel, such as those from the Shimanto River, often referred to as Japan’s last pristine stream. The prefecture boasts numerous specialty eel restaurants, so be sure to treat yourself to this delicious delicacy.
