Shizuoka, Hamamatsu. What is the relationship between sweet potatoes and eels at the Unagi Imo Store Hamamatsu Station?

Hamamatsu, Shizuoka. This is the "Unagiimo Store Hamamatsu Station Branch" located in May One West inside Hamamatsu Station. This mysterious character, "Unagiimo", is the brand character for "eels grown using eel bones and heads as fertilizer". This store mainly sells sweet potato products. This time I ordered the "Unagiimo Soft Serve (380 yen)". You can choose between a cone or a cup. The soft serve ice cream is made with strained baked sweet potato! I bought "Unagiimo Yaki Chips" and "Unagiimo Imo Kenpi" as souvenirs and they were very happy😊 The variety of products has increased since my last visit, This is a potato brand that I'm looking forward to!
