What is unadon fish?

Unadon, also known as "unagi donburi," is a popular Japanese dish that consists of grilled freshwater eel (unagi) served over a bed of rice (donburi). Unagi is typically marinated in a sweet and savory sauce made from soy sauce, sugar, and mirin (a type of rice wine) before being grilled.

The dish is typically garnished with fresh cucumber, nori (dried seaweed), or sesame seeds, and may be served with a side of miso soup or pickles. Unadon is considered a delicacy in Japan and is often served during special occasions or celebrations.

Unagi is high in protein and contains essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids. However, due to overfishing and habitat loss, some species of freshwater eel are considered endangered. It is important to source unagi from sustainable and responsible sources.
