Tagosaku and Tamokami, specialty Okowa shops operated by Green House Foods Co., Ltd., began sales on June 1, 2026 (Mon) of a new product, 'Uji Matcha Green Tea Eel Okowa,' which features the fragrant scent of Uji matcha mixed with fatty eel.

Introducing a 'New Type of Eel Okowa' with Deep Green Tea Flavor

Tagosaku has previously expanded the possibilities of Okowa by offering Western-style flavors like tomato and clam chowder. This time, they are releasing a limited summer product combining 'green tea-infused Okowa with a hint of bitterness' and 'sweet and savory fatty eel kabayaki.' It pairs perfectly with the kabayaki sauce and is visually appealing.

Simultaneously, they are launching the 'Uji Matcha Green Tea Eel Okowa & Sekihan Mini Inari Set,' which allows customers to enjoy both the new green tea eel Okowa and the standard red bean rice (Sekihan) in a convenient size.

About Tagosaku Founded in 1966, Tagosaku operates mainly in commercial facilities nationwide, delivering the colorful and traditional Japanese food culture of 'Okowa' in line with changing times. Tagosaku uses 100% 'sticky rice,' which is expected to have fatigue-recovery and antioxidant effects. Using strictly selected domestic sticky rice and seasonal ingredients from the sea and mountains, each portion is traditionally steamed in shop-installed wooden steamers. These dishes have been widely loved in daily life while honoring tradition and the four seasons. Tagosaku also offers the 'Okowa at Home' series, allowing for easy preparation of 100% sticky rice in a rice cooker. It requires no washing or soaking, and can be prepared in as little as 20 minutes. Two types are available: the classic 'Tamba Dainagon Azuki Sekihan' and the elegant 'Yuzu Scented Grilled Sea Bream Okowa.' ◇ Tagosaku Brand Site: https://www.ghf.co.jp/tagosaku/ ◇ Tagosaku Official Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/okowano_tagosaku/
