Happy New Year 😄 This is Washaji, a local Kosh u dish.
This year’s zodiac sign is the Snake 🐍 People believe carrying a snakeskin wallet or keeping a snake’s shed skin in your wallet brings better luck with money, and the white snake is especially thought to be auspicious for financial fortune.
In this Year of the Snake, which is linked to good fortune, visiting Kanazakura Shrine for the first shrine visit of the year seems likely to boost your money luck even more!

Our top recommendation is, without a doubt, unajuu (grilled eel over rice)! The unajuu made by our experienced chefs is truly delicious.
If you enjoy fresh eel from the New Year onward, you’ll have plenty of stamina for the year—there’s no doubt you’ll stay energetic!

Please be sure to visit our restaurant when you come to Shosenkyo Gorge.
