It's a little sweeter than the standard.
I grew up in Shizuoka, so Shunkado's Unagi Pie has been a familiar treat since I was a child. However, I only started using it as a gift about 10 years ago. When I was with Space Shower Music, my artists, such as ZIGGY and T-Jiro's, started appearing more and more on music specials on TV, and I was wondering what to give them as gifts. This coincided with the time when I was visiting my parents' house more often due to family circumstances.
Gifts are given to producers and directors when greeting them before recording. After giving it, it is placed in the gift corner with a tag saying "From XXX (artist name)," so you can't give anything too embarrassing. In that respect, you can give Shunkado's Unagi Pie with confidence.
