Sushi & Sashimi
Freshwater Eel (Unagi)
Available at Mizumi Sushi in Encino, freshwater Eel, also known as Unagi, is a classic Japanese delicacy known for its rich flavor, tender texture, and beautiful caramelized finish. Lightly grilled and brushed with sweet-savory eel sauce, each bite is warm, smooth, and deeply satisfying.
Product Description
Our Unagi is served as two pieces of nigiri-style sushi, featuring tender freshwater eel placed over seasoned sushi rice and finished with a glossy layer of eel sauce. The eel is soft, flavorful, and slightly smoky, with a delicate sweetness that pairs perfectly with the rice.
About This Dish
Unagi is loved for its comforting balance of sweetness, richness, and umami. The warm eel sauce enhances the natural flavor of the fish, while the sushi rice adds softness and balance. This dish is simple, elegant, and full of depth — a timeless sushi favorite for guests who enjoy a richer, more savory bite.
