Seki, Japan
Shige Yoshi
Seki’s eel culture rewards focus: smoke, rice, sauce discipline, and the handling of a freshwater fish whose quality depends as much on sourcing as on grilling. Shige Yoshi sits in that conversation with Tabelog 100 Unagi 2024 recognition, a 58-seat room, tatami seating, take-out service, and a cash-only operating style that suits a regional specialist rather than a luxury theatre.
