Unadon is one of my favorite Japanese foods. The great thing for me about Japan was that even their chain restaurants might have it and it would still be pretty damny good.

Unadon

Unadon (鰻丼, an abbreviation for unagi donburi, "eel bowl") is a dish originating in Japan. It consists of a donburi type large bowl filled with steamed white rice, and topped with fillets of eel (unagi) grilled in a style known as kabayaki, similar to teriyaki. The fillets are glazed with a sweetened soy-based sauce, called tare and caramelized, preferably over charcoal fire.

The fillets are not flayed, and the grayish skin side is placed faced down. Sufficient tare sauce is poured over so that some of it seeps through the rice underneath. By convention, pulverized dried berries of sanshō (called Japanese pepper, although botanically unrelated) are sprinkled on top as seasoning.

I haven't had it in ~15 years. Where I live if unadon is available - it's surely insanely expensive plus it probably isn't even that good. I'm going to google for it anyway though.

I just noticed the typo - I'm leaving it. It's like I created a katakana word by mistake: damnygood.

I googled.

A restaurant with a 4.2 at Google Reviews has it for $14. But can it really be anything but just okay? 難しい。
