Unagi Pie

“Nighttime snack, Unagi Pie”; the best-known delicious specialty from Lake Hamanaka.

Last update :

“Unagi pie" (eel pie) is a staple of Shizuoka souvenirs. This confection is a unique elongated oval shaped pie resembling the historically famous eels of Lake Hamana. What is even more surprising is that it not only a shape but is made by kneading real powdered eel into the dough. Its crispy texture and balanced sweetness and richness spread in your mouth always making you want to go for another piece.

Unagi Pie is referred to as a “nighttime snack.” if you take a closer look at the package. This phrase does not simply mean that garlic is also kneaded into the pie, but it also reflects the wishful thoughts of the creator of the Unagi pie who was the second president of Shunkado. Unagi pie was born during the time of Japan's rapid economic growth. It was a time when family members became too busy for individual reasons to sustain enough family time. However, since the night was the only time the family could get together, the phrase "nighttime snacks" became a gentle reminder to "enjoy eating delicious snacks at night with your family.”

Unagi pie is a perfect snack for family and friends and a delicious souvenir that is guaranteed to please anyone.
