In Japan, there is a tradition of eating unagi (grilled eel) on Midsummer Day of the Ox (Doyo-no-Ushi-no-hi), which this year falls on July 25th and August 6th. Come and satisfy your appetite in Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture, an area famous for its unagi, or in Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture, where you can have fun tasting the unusual flavor of grilled eel!

Just a five-minute walk from JR Hamamatsu Station is a restaurant that has specialized in unagi dishes for 60 years. Using high-quality unagi from Lake Hamana, [Kanerin] has a reputation for serving Hamamatsu's most delicious unagi. Since the à la carte menu is also extremely delicious, there's something for everyone who wants to try unagi. Popular dishes can sell out quickly, depending on the day's catch, so it's best to go early!
