Hey Mark This is Taka from Japan. Unaju is definitely one of my most favourites, although the price of the eels in Japan has rocketed due to the recent fall of their yield. Anyway, when it comes to eels, there are actually two different styles of preparation here in Japan. One is the Kanto style (the East Japan style. This technic is widely used in Tokyo and the surrounding areas. The other is the Kansai style (the West Japan style, which is very typical around Osaka and Kyoto. Kanto style eels are firstly cut open from the top side of the fish, gutted and then steamed. After that, they are grilled on charcoal, brushed with the house special eel sauce. Whereas Kansai style eels are cut open from the belly side and then go straight onto the chargrill, without the steaming process. While you can enjoy the butteriness and the melt-in-your-mouth texture from the Kanto style, the Kansai style allows to to enjoy the meatiness and the sweet fattiness of the fish. I personally prefer the Kansai style since I like the meaty texture of the eels. I think you gotta come here again and make your own judgement.

They have stopped serving grilled eel in South Africa, because the item is just not profitable, and production is almost a nightmare. No sushi house will sell it, as it is expensive and here the culture (African, as you may have it) hardly sustains it. Man how I miss eating eel nigiri - this is a memorable video for sure.

i know this is an old video, but Mark seriously, you need to work on that oh my god so delicious face, if you make that face 80 % of the time you eat some thing, the expression looses its value, and the validation in provides for a truly amazing tasting/textured food. just my 2 cents.

one advise mark, as you know asians dont like to put white clothing towards the head cuz it means that your family related has passed, so sometimes at the video people look you differently cuz you are protecting yourself from sunlight, but i can be disrepectful.

5: 28As to cooking method, it differs depending on the area. In eastern part of Japan, it's grilled, steamed and grilled again; in western part, it's not steamed. When you eat grilled eels in western part of Japan, you can experience different texture

5: 44 They would grill it, then steam it, because of the fat, then dip it into a sauce (or maybe before) and then grill it again. But I am not 100% sure, but I think it starts with grilling and ends with grilling.
