Savor Summer's Delicacy "Domestic Eel" at Home! Unagi Washoku Ohtani Begins Taking Pre-Orders for Unadon on the Day of the Ox, Starting June 30, 2026 (Tue)

New Fuji Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture; President and CEO: Miyo Yamada), which operates 10 locations of "Unagi Washoku Ohtani"—a Japanese cuisine restaurant specializing in domestically sourced eel and authentic Edomae-style kaiseki—across Saitama Prefecture, will begin pre-orders for its domestic eel "Day of the Ox Takeout" this year, following last year's success.

To coincide with the Day of the Ox on Sunday, July 26, pre-orders for the special takeout menu will be accepted from Tuesday, June 30 to Tuesday, July 21. Enjoy Ohtani's freshly filleted domestic unadon in the comfort of your own home. Reservations can be made in person or by phone at any "Unagi Washoku Ohtani" location.

Ohtani's Commitment to Premium Domestic Unadon

"Unagi Washoku Ohtani" uses only Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) sourced from within Japan, filleted fresh upon order. After receiving an order, skilled Ohtani eel artisans carefully remove each bone by hand, then grill the eel exclusively over rare Kishu Binchotan and Tosa Binchotan charcoal. By grilling quickly at high temperatures, the eel achieves a crisp, aromatic exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, served immediately after preparation.

Ohtani also holds rigorous standards for the rice served with unadon, selecting only the finest grains from premium regions of Niigata Prefecture, such as Minami-Uonuma and terraced rice fields. The rice is chosen specifically for its ideal balance of texture, sweetness, and fragrance that perfectly complements the eel.

The unagi sauce features Ohtani's house-made authentic mirin, used generously to enhance the depth and aroma that elevates both the charcoal-grilled eel and freshly cooked rice. All side dishes, including house-pickled vegetables (kou no mono), are made in-house, ensuring that every bite delivers the authentic Ohtani flavor. We invite you to enjoy this special unadon experience at home.

About "Unagi Washoku Ohtani" – Eel and Japanese Cuisine

Featuring the "Ohtani Purin" made with free-range eggs and the domestic eel "Unadon Matsu"

Since opening its first location in Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture in 1972, Ohtani has grown to 10 locations across the prefecture and will celebrate its 54th anniversary this year.

Using only domestic Japanese eel, Ohtani fillets each eel upon order and grills it over rare Kishu Binchotan and Tosa Binchotan charcoal to deliver freshly prepared, aromatic eel dishes.

Committed to freshness, Ohtani shows customers the eel to be filleted after ordering, then prepares it immediately. The restaurant emphasizes ingredient quality (origin and standards) and authentic preparation methods rooted in Edomae kaiseki cuisine. Only carefully selected, safe seasonings are used, and many ingredients—including tofu, umeboshi, authentic mirin, black sugar syrup, and anko (sweet bean paste)—are made in-house.

The "Ohtani Purin," made with free-range eggs, features handmade specialties such as "Unagi Sauce Caramel," "Ohtani House-Made Authentic Mirin," and "Black Sugar Caramel," all crafted on-site.

With private rooms and large dining spaces, Ohtani is ideal for life events such as Shichi-Go-San, baby's first meal (Oyamiyuki), engagement dinners, business entertaining, banquets, and memorial services.

With 54 years of expertise in eel preparation, Ohtani continues to refine its craftsmanship, delicious cuisine, and hospitality to satisfy even more customers.
