Japan-only commerce. Global editorial.
The global home for Japanese unagi and kabayaki knowledge.
KatanaUnagi currently sells only within Japan. The global section is built for education, cultural search demand, and future shipping registration without exposing overseas checkout or prices.
Waitlist
Join the international shipping waitlist
We will notify you when KatanaUnagi can ship outside Japan. Until then, these pages are editorial only: no international checkout, no overseas pricing, and no purchase flow.
Editorial architecture
One cornerstone first, then focused clusters.
The global SEO structure starts from the English cornerstone and expands into reviewed English cluster articles. Planned clusters remain defined in data, but they stay non-routable until both editorial status and route implementation are ready.
Complete Unagi Guide
The English cornerstone page covering unagi, kabayaki, shirayaki, tare, charcoal grilling, serving styles, reheating, gifts, and sourcing responsibility.
Published clusterUnagi vs Anago
Clarifies the difference between Japanese freshwater eel and saltwater conger eel for sushi menus, grilled eel rice dishes, kabayaki context, and overseas readers who see both translated as eel.
Kabayaki vs Shirayaki
A focused article on tare-brushed kabayaki and sauce-free shirayaki, including how each style is served and tasted.
Kanto vs Kansai
Explains regional preparation differences without overgeneralizing individual shop practice.
Unaju / Unadon / Hitsumabushi
Maps the major rice-centered eel dishes and the dining context behind each name.
How to Reheat Unagi
Practical reheating guidance for chilled or frozen grilled eel, designed for future shipping education without purchase claims.
Unagi Gift Culture
Explains why premium eel can work as a seasonal or business gift in Japan, while avoiding overseas sales promises.
Sustainability & Traceability
A careful, non-greenwashing explainer on sourcing records, species/resource complexity, and traceability expectations.
Doyo no Ushi no Hi
Introduces the seasonal custom behind eating eel in Japan without turning the global page into a sales calendar.
Language rollout
Publish only when useful, not just translated.
Only fully reviewed language pages should be indexable. Planned languages stay in the roadmap until the article, search intent, glossary, and waitlist copy are locally useful.
