Flavor Profile

Unagi, a freshwater eel is moderate in flavor, with a soft & chewy texture. This Japanese product is traditionally prepared in the Kabayaki style, in which Unagi is cooked in a thick, sweet & salty sauce. The porous texture of Unagi allows it to soak up the delicious barbeque-style sauce.

Sushi with Unagi as a main ingredient is a great roll for sushi beginners looking to expand into more exotic flavors, without delving into completely raw rolls.
