Chikuyotei Ginza: Mastering the Art of Japanese Eel Cuisine

Chikuyotei Ginza, a revered culinary institution, is renowned for its mastery of Japanese eel cuisine.

This sauce, a cornerstone of Chikuyotei’s culinary legacy, is meticulously prepared daily, preserving its unique essence for generations.
