Founded in the Kyoho year, the 15th generation of a long-established Kamigata-yaki eel restaurant.
Founded in the Kyoho era, Honke Shibatou is a long-established Kamigata eel restaurant. The founder ran a river fish business that offered fish to the shogun's family, and it is said that he opened a restaurant called ``Saibatou'' near Osaka Castle at the recommendation of the eighth shogun, Yoshimune. In the town of Osaka, which has many rivers, enjoying delicious food on a houseboat was seen as an elegance and became very popular. However, the founder still researched delicious ways to eat eel and came up with the famous ''mimushi'' method. Matemushi is a dish in which eel is sandwiched between rice and steamed, and its origin is said to be 'steamed in between the rice''. There is also a theory that because mabusu (meaning to mix) is difficult to say, the word "mamushi'' came to be known at some point. ) Saibatou's Osaka Mamushi has been loved by people all over the country as a representative of Kamigata eel that has been passed down from generation to generation.
