Nakau, a rice bowl and Kyoto-style udon chain operated by Nakau Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Hiroshige Ikematsu, Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), will begin selling eel products, including 'Unaju' (eel bowl), starting Tuesday, April 28th.
Nakau's eel is slowly grilled and then carefully steamed to remove excess fat and concentrate the umami flavor. Afterward, the process of applying a special sauce and grilling is repeated three times to create a kabayaki (grilled eel) that is savory on the outside and fluffy on the inside. This labor-intensive cooking process brings out the original deliciousness of the eel to the fullest.
'Unaju' is a product where you can enjoy the fluffy and savory eel together with kinshi tamago (shredded egg crepe) made with their 'specialty eggs.' A sweet and deep sauce that harmonizes the savory aroma of soy sauce and the richness of sugar coats the eel perfectly, further enhancing the deliciousness of the fluffy eel meat and the rice.
In addition, they will also sell the 'Unagi Aigake Oyakodon,' where you can simultaneously taste both eel and Nakau's signature chicken-and-egg bowl, and the 'Tokumori Unadon,' an extremely satisfying dish featuring an extra-large portion of rice lavishly topped with two pieces of eel.
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the eel products at a Nakau store near you or at home.
