About Eel nigiri

Eel Nigiri is a classic Japanese sushi dish consisting of a small ball of vinegared rice topped with grilled or broiled freshwater eel, known as unagi. The eel is typically glazed with a sweet and savory sauce called kabayaki, made from soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, enhancing its rich flavor. Often garnished with sesame seeds or sliced seaweed, Eel Nigiri combines tender, smoky protein with slightly tangy rice. While eel is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and B12, and essential minerals like phosphorus, the kabayaki sauce adds sugar and sodium, which can affect its overall nutritional profile. Moderation is key when enjoying this dish. Eel Nigiri is a satisfying choice for sushi lovers seeking a flavorful bite of traditional Japanese cuisine with a balance of protein and healthy fats.
