Nakau's Grilled Eel Offerings

As the weather begins to warm, Nakau, renowned for its rice bowls and Kyoto-style udon, is reintroducing its delightful eel dishes starting April 28. Each dish is expertly crafted, ensuring that you experience the true flavors of quality eel.

The Art of Grilling Eel

The eel served at Nakau undergoes a meticulous process of grilling and steaming, which concentrates its natural flavors by removing any excess fat. The joy of eating eel comes from the unique texture and taste that Nakau expertly creates. The process involves dipping the eel in a special sauce and grilling it three times, ensuring a perfectly crispy exterior while maintaining a tender, fluffy interior.

A Flavorful Experience

The standout dish, the "Unajuu," incorporates this perfectly grilled eel with fluffy rice, topped with delicately prepared egg strands from carefully selected eggs. The sweet yet savory sauce made with shoyu harmonizes beautifully with the eel, elevating the dish's overall taste by enhancing both the eel and the rice.

Diverse Menu Options

In addition to the classic "Unajuu," Nakau offers the "Unagi Aikake Oyakodon," which allows diners to enjoy both the exquisite eel and the restaurant's beloved oyakodon (a chicken and egg rice bowl) together. For those looking for a more filling option, the "Tokumori Unadon" features two generous pieces of grilled eel served over a large portion of rice, catering particularly to hearty appetites.
