The charm of Atsuta Houraiken
The secret sauce that has been preserved for 140 years
The secret sauce
The secret recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, since the establishment of the company.
It is impossible to imitate this legendary sauce with its long historical background.
The skill of grilling high-quality eel to perfection
Craftsmanship
This skill of handling an eel, of grilling it to its perfection is key to the chef who would have mastered the craft of creating the ideal Hitsumabushi.
In the absence of a well-trained chef, the ideal Hitsumabushi will be elusive, regardless of its sauce or quality of the eel.
At Atsuta Houraiken, only the best eels are served of course, each individually grilled to its supreme perfection.
A bowl of Hitsumabushi is served up flawlessly, even to the most notable critics!
A calming and cosy Japanese atmosphere
Interior

I am so thrilled to be able to enjoy my very own exclusive Hiitsu-Mabushi in such a beautiful space.
