Part 1531 of our tour of long-established eel restaurants: A long-established eel restaurant founded in 1893.
I ordered Unajutake for 4,500 yen. Plump, fragrant and delicious. It's well-cooked and goes well with the rich sauce.
The sauce is a nice salty plum that is not too sweet.
When and where did the eel restaurant named "Owada" come into existence, and why is it called "Owada"? Unfortunately, we have no idea. One theory is that it was founded by a person from Owada in Chiba in the mid-Edo period. It is said.
Existing eel restaurant rankings confirm that there were at least 10 eel restaurants at the end of the Edo period. Moreover, when I look at the "Kaei Year Edition Kabayaki Commercial Ranking" (actually, I haven't seen the actual product, I just saw what was published in a trade paper), for some reason "Owada" is listed as "Gyoji". In other words, it is imagined that he was an existence that transcended rank.
Regarding the company's history, the resume of the third generation Tsunesaburo Okada (grandfather of the current president) says, ``In 1891, my great-uncle (Mr. Asai) was allowed to divide the noren from Owada, Owari Town, and opened the business in Yurakucho.'' We now have.
Tsunesaburo Okada took over the noren from the second generation Asai at the end of the Taisho period, and before the war he had expanded to 12 stores (including an eel shop named ``Okada''). At the time, the main store was located in Shinjuku 1-chome, but we focused on the Shinbashi store, which opened in 1930, and after the war moved the main store to Shinbashi, where it is today.
