Unagi - Japanese eel
“Unagi” (Freshwater eel - うなぎ) is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. Before coming to Japan I didn’t really like any kind of eel, but the way it is prepared here and the softness of the species Anguilla japonica changed my mind. It is usually grilled with soy sauce (Kabayaki) and served on a bed of rice (Kabayaki-don).
If you have the opportunity, try it!

Hi Hector! Love what you’re doing with this blog (mostly because I’m a geek too and derive great amusement from the content)!
Would just like to point out that what’s in that picture is actually “una-juu” (うな重). It’s a “juu” because it’s in a rectangular lacquered box. If it’s in a regular round bowl (a “donburi”, 丼) , then it’s “una-don” (うな丼). The food inside the container is really the same thing, though.
Thought you might like to know that, since you call yourself a geek.

Thanks lot! That’s next level. I didn’t know the difference between うな重 and うな丼.

I would add for anyone visiting Japan to try pretty much anything put in front of them. I had a wonderful time trying everything from eel soup to battered and deep fried fish bones. I sure do miss that island!

Yummy. I just came back from a vacation in Japan. I had fresh eel in Narita, as well as carp miso soup. It was delicious!

Looks really great. I haven’t had unagi for quite some time. Some friends and I caught some utsubo a few weeks ago, but it didn’t turn out to be so good lol.
