About Unagi nigiri

Unagi Nigiri is a traditional Japanese sushi dish featuring a slice of grilled freshwater eel (unagi) atop a small bed of hand-formed vinegared sushi rice, often secured with a thin strip of nori (seaweed). Known for its rich, savory flavor and slightly sweet glaze, the eel is typically brushed with a sauce called "tare," made from soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. Unagi is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like A and B12, contributing to heart and brain health. However, the tare sauce adds a moderate amount of sugar and sodium, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation. As part of Japanese cuisine, Unagi Nigiri embodies both cultural tradition and culinary artistry, delivering a balance of taste and nutrition while offering a unique and satisfying sushi experience.
