About Unagi don

Unagi Don, or "eel rice bowl," is a beloved dish in Japanese cuisine. It features tender, sweet-savory grilled eel (unagi) glazed with a soy-based kabayaki sauce, served atop a steaming bed of Japanese white rice. The eel is traditionally broiled, giving it a slightly smoky flavor, and the rich, caramelized sauce provides a satisfying umami balance. Unagi is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like A and D, which support heart health and immunity. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to the sauce and may contain added sugars. While it provides wholesome energy from the rice, moderation is recommended for those watching their calorie intake. Often garnished with sansho pepper or pickled vegetables, Unagi Don is a comforting and nutrient-rich meal that beautifully showcases Japanese culinary traditions.
