Japanese eel, also known as Japanese crispy eel, is one of the famous Japanese delicacies. In Japan, eels are regarded as high-end ingredients and often appear in high-end restaurants and banquets. Eel is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, especially DHA and EPA, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health and immune system enhancement.
Japanese eels have a unique way of eating. The traditional practice is to slaughter the eel first, cut it into thin slices, and then marinate it with traditional seasonings such as soy sauce, sugar, essence, persimmon pepper and aged vinegar for a period of time. Finally, the eel is roasted to golden brown and served with rice. Eel meat is tender, delicious and memorable. In addition to the traditional roasted eel, there are many innovative eel dishes in Japan, such as eel covered rice, eel sushi and eel rolls, all of which are very delicious.
If you want to taste Japanese eels, you can go to a traditional Japanese restaurant or eel shop. Of course, you can also buy eel marinade and frozen eel in Japanese supermarkets or online, and make it yourself at home. Generally speaking, whether it's tasting Japanese eel or cooking eel yourself, it's a gourmet experience and worth a try.
