Why? The reason for eel in summer
Enjoy the Japanese summer tradition of eating eel on Doyo no Ushi Day with a special menu at Komatsuen. Experience the tradition with special eel dishes and events.
"Doyō no Ushi no Hi" is a traditional Japanese custom of eating eel to survive the summer heat.
This custom has actually continued since the Edo period, and even today it is a part of the summer season that people all over Japan look forward to every year.
At Komatsuen, we have prepared a special menu and events for this special day. In particular, the eel slowly grilled over binchotan charcoal is fragrant on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, perfect for a body exhausted by the heat.
In addition, to coincide with Doyo no Ushi no Hi, you can enjoy a slightly different menu than usual. This is a great opportunity for locals and tourists alike to experience the Japanese summer traditions.
Why not come and enjoy some special eel dishes at Komatsuen to beat the summer heat?
All our staff look forward to your visit!
At Unagi Nobori Koshoen, you can enjoy eel dishes that boast melt-in-your-mouth flavor and overflowing aroma. Furthermore, we serve river fish dishes, which have been part of the local food culture for over 100 years, using traditional cooking methods. Opportunities to eat such river fish dishes are becoming fewer and fewer each year, making it a valuable cooking method. We want to cherish this historic food culture, so we spread the word through events and experiences.
