About Japanese eel
Japanese eel, or "unagi," is a freshwater fish highly prized in Japanese cuisine for its tender texture and rich, smoky flavor. Typically served grilled and glazed with a sweet soy-based sauce, unagi is also featured in dishes like unadon (eel rice bowl) and sushi rolls. Packed with protein, it provides essential amino acids that contribute to muscle repair and growth. Unagi is also a source of beneficial nutrients such as vitamin A for eye health, vitamin E for its antioxidant properties, and omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health and reduce inflammation. However, because it is often prepared with sugary sauces, the dish can be calorie-dense and higher in sodium. Moderation is key to enjoying its health benefits while managing these factors. Japanese eel remains a versatile and indulgent choice, deeply rooted in tradition and cherished for its unique flavor profile.
