Unagi Don Was My Comfort Food Yesterday


It was one of those miserable, rainy days. You know the kind—damp and just… bleh. I felt like I needed something seriously good to cheer me up, so I went to a Japanese spot I've been wanting to try.

I ordered the unagi don, which is basically a grilled eel rice bowl. When it arrived, it looked amazing. The eel was caramelized and glistening with this perfect sauce.

The first bite? OMG. The eel was so tender it literally melted in my mouth. It was perfectly crisp on the outside, but the inside was super soft. The sauce was this amazing mix of sweet and savory that just coated everything perfectly. Every spoonful was just pure comfort.

It totally brightened up an otherwise gloomy day. Honestly, if you're ever having a bad day, unagi don might be the cure.

  1. Your Una Ju 鰻重 looks yummy.

    Una Don 鰻丼 is served in a large bowl called Donburi 丼.
    Since your eel is served in a rectangular box, which is called Jubako重箱, your dish is Una Ju.

    Even better. Enjoy!
