White Data Center Inc. (Headquarters: Bibai City, Hokkaido, CEO: Shinichi Ijichi, hereinafter referred to as “WDC”) will make the first shipment of Hokkaido Japanese eel under the name “Yuki Unagi®” on July 16th.

WDC started “Japanese eels” farming (Eel Farming Business Permit: Hokkaido Eel No. 1) in January 2024 in Bibai City using waste heat from data centers, snow cold heat from snow disposal, and meltwater. By using waste heat from the servers to ensure the water temperature suitable for eel farming, now it’s possible to farm eels in Hokkaido, where temperatures are low. In recent years, as the price of eels continues to rise, eels produced in Hokkaido have attracted a lot of attention.

WDC plans to continue expanding production in the future to ensure a stable supply of high-quality eels while protecting the natural environment.

Ahead of the Midsummer Ox Day, Kadoya (Watanabe Building, Minami 4 Nishi 2, Chuo-ku, Sapporo) will be selling Unaju (Japanese Grilled Eel on Rice) made with snow eel for 3 days only start from July 17th-19th (limited to 30 meals per day).

Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy Yuki Unagi®.

※Yuki Unagi®

is the brand name of the Japanese eel farmed by WDC (trademark no. 2023-72075). Since the farming uses snow-related energy, such as meltwater and snow cold heat from snow removal, we named it as Yuki Unagi.
