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.
