About Unagi

Unagi, or freshwater eel, is a prized delicacy in Japanese cuisine, often featured in dishes like kabayaki or sushi. Known for its rich, tender texture and bold, savory flavor, unagi is traditionally glazed with a soy-based sauce and grilled to perfection. Beyond its taste, unagi is a nutritional powerhouse, offering high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like A, B12, and D. These nutrients support brain function, heart health, and immune defense. However, due to its preparation, unagi dishes can be high in sodium and sugar, mainly from the accompanying sauce, and can also contain significant calories. Moderation and mindful eating can help balance indulgence with its health benefits. As a seasonal food, unagi is especially enjoyed in the summer months in Japan for its energizing qualities.
