What Is Unagi?

Unagi is freshwater eel, widely used in Japanese cuisine.

Prepared in the kabayaki style, it is:

  • grilled over high heat
  • brushed with a sweet soy-based glaze
  • cooked until tender and flavorful

This results in a rich, balanced dish that is both savory and slightly sweet.


Fully Cooked, Ready to Enjoy

Unagi kabayaki is fully cooked, making it one of the easiest sushi-grade items to prepare at home.

  • simply heat and serve
  • no raw preparation required
  • consistent, reliable results

It delivers a restaurant-quality experience with minimal effort.


Flavor & Texture

Unagi offers a distinct, satisfying profile.

Expect:

  • rich, savory-sweet flavor
  • tender, soft texture
  • lightly caramelized exterior
  • smooth, balanced finish

It’s one of the most approachable Japanese seafood items.


Traditional Kabayaki Glaze

The signature glaze is what defines unagi.

  • soy sauce base
  • lightly sweetened
  • caramelizes during cooking
  • enhances natural richness of the eel

The result is a balanced, umami-rich flavor.
