Sakai Conger Eel exculsive store Matsuiizumi

Eel, the most famous product from Sakai.

Matsuiizumi has 50 years since starting out as a eel specialty store, from around the time that Sakai started to flourish as a producer of eel. While maintaining old traditions, they have also undergone multiple revolutions in order to protect the techniques of the culinary culture of eel. Among them is the "baked eel," a bold move that backs down to none. The more you chew, the richer the flavor becomes.

Inside the plant you can purchase eel to take home.
