Unagi from the famous pristine Shimanto River in Kochi Prefecture

What is Shimanto Unagi?

Running from the high mountains down to the sea, forming Shimanto River’s clear waters.

The clean, pure water of the Shimanto River is a treasure trove to river fishes, including eels. Shimanto unagi are natural eels, growing in Shimanto River, Kochi Prefecture.

The meat is tender and moderately fatty, without a muddy smell.

In pursuit of "safety, security and deliciousness"

The young of unagi is caught and raised in the headwaters of the Shimanto River with clean groundwater under thorough safety control.

 Everything to raise Shimanto Unagi is produced in Kochi!

The feed is locally produced in Kochi. Shimanto River's underground water is used.
As a result, it has no unpleasant odor at all, unlike other farmed unagi.
