Anguilla su riso

Anguilla su riso, or eel over rice, is a delectable dish often featured in Japanese cuisine as unadon (eel rice bowl). It typically showcases tender grilled eel (anguilla), glazed with a savory-sweet sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. The eel is placed over steaming white rice, allowing the sauce and juices to seep into the rice for added flavor.
This dish is often garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions and accompanied by side dishes like pickled vegetables or miso soup. It's a perfect harmony of smokiness, sweetness, and umami, making it a beloved meal among food enthusiasts.
