Discover the Taste of a Japanese Summer
- Authentic Unagi (Eel) Cooking Experience -

Just as cherry blossoms symbolize spring in Japan, unagi (eel) is one of the most iconic symbols of the Japanese summer.
What many international visitors do not know is that Japanese people enjoy unagi not only in summer, but throughout the entire year. It is one of Japan’s most beloved traditional dishes, and famous unagi restaurants attract diners in every season.
For more than 200 years, Japan has celebrated a tradition known as Doyo no Ushi no Hi (the Day of the Ox in Summer). During the hottest period of the year, people eat unagi to maintain their strength and energy through the intense summer heat.
Yet this custom is much more than a meal.
It reflects the Japanese appreciation of nature, the changing seasons, and the deep connection between food and culture.
Learning to prepare unagi is not simply learning a recipe.
It is an opportunity to discover Japanese history, culinary traditions, and the craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.
