Eel Sushi

Cultural Context

Eel sushi, or unagi, is a traditional Japanese dish often enjoyed during the summer months for its rich flavor and believed health benefits. Grilled over charcoal and glazed with a sweet soy-based sauce, unagi is a delicacy that highlights the skill of sushi chefs. While it remains a staple in Japan, variations have emerged globally, with creative takes on the classic recipe.
