Kawagoe has many popular old-established eel restaurants where you can enjoy tasty eel cuisine. During the Edo period, it was prohibited to eat meat such as pork. Since there were no seas around Saitama prefecture, where Kawagoe is, it is said that eels caught from rivers had become popular as a precious source of protein. Eel goes perfectly with sweet and salty soy sauce-based dipping sauce! Do not miss eel cuisine during your visit to Kawagoe.
