Yamada Premium Japanese Unagi Iki - Grilled Eel Japonica 1pc
“Yamada no Iki” is premium Japanese eel, raised without the use of medication from fry to harvest in Shibushi, Kagoshima. Grown in pure natural groundwater and grilled over charcoal, it is finished with a traditional organic sauce made only from soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Produced under a fully integrated system—from aquaculture to processing—this is a refined kabayaki that showcases the true flavour of the eel.
- Medication-Free Aquaculture
The eel is raised without any antibiotics or medicinal treatment. Through careful environmental control and expert husbandry, only healthy, high-quality eel is selected, offering both safety and superior taste.
- Natural Groundwater from Kagoshima
The ponds are supplied with clean groundwater pumped from approximately 80 metres below ground. This mineral-balanced natural water supports steady growth and contributes to the eel’s clean, refined flavour.
- Crafted by Eel Masters
Experienced eel specialists oversee the entire growing process. Their expertise ensures consistent quality and careful stock selection, prioritising excellence over mass production.
- Charcoal Grilled – 1.5 Times Longer
Each eel is grilled slowly over charcoal, with 1.5 times longer cooking than standard production lines. This method creates a delicately crisp exterior and a tender, succulent interior while enhancing the natural umami.
- Organic Traditional Sauce
The sauce contains only organically certified soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Inspired by traditional Edo-period kabayaki, it is designed to enhance—not overpower—the natural richness of the eel.
- Fully Integrated Production
From fry cultivation to final processing, all stages take place in Shibushi, Kagoshima. This integrated approach ensures strict quality control, freshness and full traceability
