Keeps the traditional taste of the old-established unagi (eel) restaurant passed down from grandfather and father.
He was born in 1972 in Osaka. Though his grandfather wanted him to succeed the old-established restaurant [Daimi] that was founded in 1912, he rebelled against it and went to the US to enter a university. In the US, though, he realized the wonderful parts of Japan and his family business and decided to succeed the restaurant. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed down due to financial difficulties, so he restarted from wholesaling eels in a small space at a fish shop. This business went well and was able to expand to have its own eel shop. In 2016, he finally opened [Unagi Jinta] on the second floor of the eel shop. He is currently keeping the traditional taste of his family based on the recipe of his grandfather and father.
