Mochiya to Kame, a shop located in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, has introduced a new product called ‘Unagi Chimaki’. This specialty item is a collaboration between Mochiya to Kame and the proprietor of Unagi Suppon Yamasei.
The dish features thick, savory grilled eel (kabayaki) wrapped in bamboo leaves with glutinous rice made from Shinshu-grown ancient rice. The rice is seasoned with a special sauce and includes shiitake mushrooms for added flavor. The product is intended as a luxury gift for the year-end season and can be stored frozen for approximately one month.
