Out of all Japanese food where would you rank unagi?

    High on my personal list of favourite dishes, for sure.

    I went to school across from an eel farm and the place made me hungry, I swear.

    Like it but the price is in no mans land. That hitsumabsuhi set probably costs around 5000-7000 yen. I usually go either low or high when in Japan, eg 1000 yen lunch and then 25,000 yen multi course omakase dinner.

    Unagi always looks great, but I don’t typically like fish.

    Can anyone advise me on if it has the typical “fishy/sea water” taste?

    high, I just had it for the first time on my 5th trip to Japan, and I loved it.

    maybe top 5

    Probably my favorite dish! I’m currently pregnant and have had the strongest and most frequent cravings for Unagi 🤤🤤🤤

    Love it but find it too rich if the sauce is sweet

    Unagi is delicious, but I rarely eat it because the eel is super endangered and overfished. Even the farmed eel has the spawn fished out of rivers. I’ve tried to make a catfish facsimile and it’s pretty good because the texture is similar and the flavor is largely teriyaki umami.

    My mom used to give me care packages with the tins that had a key to open them.

  8. Unagi is such a comfort food. I wish it wasn’t that expensive tho 🍜
