Discover unagi, from grill to table.

Unagi kabayaki is eel grilled with a sweet-savory glaze. The main difference from shirayaki is the sauce: shirayaki is grilled without that glaze. Think of kabayaki as the preparation, and unadon or unaju as ways of serving eel with rice. This distinction makes Japanese menus and packaged products easier to understand.
