Resona Group's Regional Design Lab Saitama (Labotama) is supporting a food culture experience tour in Kawagoe in collaboration with the eel restaurant "Unagi Washoku Daikoku." Based on participant feedback, the tour will be renewed from June 1, 2026, to offer a deeper cultural experience. The new version increases interaction time with the master chef, allowing guests to ask questions and learn about the ingredients and preparation methods directly. Highlights include watching the preparation of a live domestic eel, a hands-on wasabi grating experience, an optional pairing with local "Kagamiyama" sake, and a final course of Unaju (eel over rice) grilled with a secret sauce. This initiative aims to convey the deep charm of Kawagoe and build a sustainable, high-value tourism model.
