The UNAGI PIE |
Unagi is the Japanese word for eel. You know the long fish that doesn't look like a usual fish.
Hamamatsu is apparently popular for its unagi dish and unagi pie.Yeah, you heard it right. Unagi pie. Eel pie.
I was puzzled the first time I heard about unagi pie. To have a pie made of eel doesn't very appealing to me but it seems intriguing.
In reality, unagi pie is just a usual cookie-like snack coated with unagi powder. It doesn't taste fishy.It doesn't taste like an eel. It's sweet and cookiesh.
You can find how unagi pie is done in the Unagi Pie Factory Hamamatsu. It's located in the west of Hamamatsu, off the busy central area.
Here's the complete address: 748-51 Okubu-cho, Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu-shi, Shizuoka, 432-8006.
It's not an accessible place by public transportation. You can take a taxi from Maisaka Train Station.
So what can you see in the factory?
