Unaju from Omakase
Say this about grilled eel [unagi kabayaki]: it’s one of those things I tend to reserve as either a treat on an exceptionally good day or a fortifying pick-me-up on the most horrific days. On those days, I can always kick back and relax with a plate of eel and rice before me or suffocate my sorrows with an o-bento of the stuff.
So, when does the monstrous affair at the top of the post come in?
With four eel fillets atop a box – not a bowl – of rice, this baroque affair is referred to as an unaju, an unadon [unagi-don] on a much bigger scale. For one thing, there’s more eel. It’s served in a large box rather than a bowl and it’s quite a deep box and there’s quite a bit more rice involved.
This particular treat is from Omakase; it’s what I have when I know things are definitely going my way. 
I’d definitely prefer that to a beer at the end of a hard day!
yum-yum! looks so delicious.
we’ve tried omakase too; their branch in il terrazzo at the far end of tomas morato. we like their jurassic maki and sukiyaki though we haven’t tried their unagi yet… looks yum!
Anong lasa??
