eel rice bowl by Unagi Jiro

Unagi Don, also known as an eel rice bowl, is a celebrated Japanese dish renowned for its deep, savory flavors. At this year's JAPAN Fes, Unagi Jiro will introduce their high-quality Japanese eel to attendees for the first time. The dish features succulent grilled eel, basted in a sweet and subtly smoky sauce, then elegantly laid over a mound of steaming white rice. This pairing creates a delightful interplay of textures and flavors—the tender, rich eel contrasts beautifully with the plain rice, which soaks up the flavorful sauce for an enhanced taste experience. Unagi Don is more than just a meal; it's a comforting embrace of traditional Japanese culinary art, promising a feast for the senses.
