'Unagidokoro Manraku', operated by Manraku Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture; President: Ryutaro Omori), will host a 'Kids Eel Catching Experience' as a special Golden Week event on Wednesday, April 29 (Holiday), and from Saturday, May 2 to Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
This project aims to provide an event where eel is experienced not just as 'something to eat,' but as a food culture to 'learn, touch, and taste.' During Golden Week, when families have more opportunities to dine out, allowing children to actually touch eels—which they rarely encounter in daily life—will serve as a catalyst to foster interest in ingredients and a closer appreciation for food.
At Unagidokoro Manraku, we value not only the deliciousness of the eel itself but also our dedication to the ingredients and the intrinsic value of the time spent enjoying it. Through the experiences available before and after the meal at this event, we will offer a memorable restaurant experience that goes beyond simply 'eating' eel.
Furthermore, during the Golden Week period, we will operate on a slightly modified schedule. We will be closed on Tuesday, April 28, and open from Wednesday, April 29 (Holiday) through Thursday, May 7. We will be open to accommodate your dining occasions with family and friends during the consecutive holidays.
Background of the Project
Golden Week is a time when families increasingly enjoy dining out.
On the other hand, eel is an ingredient rarely encountered in daily life, and opportunities to learn about its background or what it looks like before reaching the dining table are limited.
Therefore, to coincide with the Golden Week period, Manraku decided to hold this event as a hands-on project to make eel feel more familiar. Going beyond mere customer attraction, we aim for this project to cultivate an understanding and interest in eel as an ingredient, serving as a gateway to the 'ingredients, skills, and dining experience' that Manraku holds dear.
Event Highlights
- A limited-time Golden Week event where families can enjoy the experience of 'learning, touching, and tasting' eel.
- Provides an opportunity to deepen understanding and interest in ingredients by actually touching eels, which are rarely encountered normally.
- A hands-on event available for on-the-day participation, exclusively for customers dining at the restaurant.
- Operates on a modified schedule during Golden Week to create easy opportunities for visits.
