Unagi Fugu Kaiseki Hibino is a Japanese restaurant located in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, with over 30 years of history as a locally rooted dining establishment. The owner trained for five years at a Michelin one-star restaurant in Kyoto and further honed his skills at a kaiseki restaurant in Gion, offering authentic Japanese cuisine rich in seasonal flavors. The restaurant features three main specialties: fugu (pufferfish), unagi (eel), and hamo (pike eel), along with seasonal dishes made from fresh ingredients such as grouper, anglerfish, Echizen crab, and mountain vegetables. Notably, they employ techniques to prepare extra-large eel from Mikawa Isshiki, using well water to enhance its texture before grilling it to perfection, and they also expertly fillet live fugu in-house, allowing it to rest for several days to develop its umami. The interior boasts a serene atmosphere with sukiya-style architecture, offering a variety of spaces including Japanese modern and Western-style private rooms, table seating, and tatami areas. It can accommodate banquets for up to 50 guests, and there is a banquet room on the second floor with views of cherry blossoms in spring. Hibino provides a range of cuisine tailored for various occasions, including kaiseki meals, ceremonies, and celebrations such as the first eating ceremony for infants. They also offer catering, delivery, and takeout services, allowing customers to enjoy Hibino’s flavors at home. With a commitment to seasonal ingredients, the techniques honed in Kyoto, and a spirit of local hospitality, Hibino has become a beloved Japanese restaurant for many customers.
