@jaketheripper73852 years ago Unagi = freshwater eel (the word for saltwater eel iswithin the context of japanese cuisine the actual name of the dish is ' unagi donburi' or more often just simplified towhich is literally just an eel bowl. It' s generally quite simple consisting of a bed of white rice topped with nicely grilled fillets of eel that have been prepared in a kabayaki style (essentially just japanese barbecue, kabayaki is nigh identical to the more ubiquitously known teriyaki) the fillets will often be garnished in a topping preparation composed of dried peppers or fruits/berries with the most traditional approach being a topping consisting of sansho berry peppers that have been dried and(harvested from a shrub native to japan, sansho is considered quite similar to the chinese szechuan pepper) sansho seems to resemble more of a berry than a typical pepper, possessing an appearance akin to the small red berries of the american holly tree. That said, i have heard of others preparing their unagi/unadon using toppings made from one or more fruits/veggies and aromatics in either dried, preserved, or blended sauce type preperations.
personally i prefer to prepare a sweet and tangy sauce reduction with some fruits or berries and aromatics, then mixing that with some of the tare sauce/marinade from the eel and serving it alongside the dish as an optional topping addition. I' m still working on a method of creating this using the actual tare glaze rather than preparing a more traditional sauce reduction and then combining it with the tare afterward, but every time i' ve made an attempt it just won' t come out quite right. Regardless, the other way tends to work out just fine and creates quite a remarkably sweet and savory optional topping to serve alongside my unadon dish, and it' s always been a big hit when i' ve served it. Admittedly it isn' t exactly the most traditional or regionally accurate method of serving such a dish, but i like to experiment and broaden my horizons a bit myself and frankly sansho isn' t exactly the most readily available food item here in the midwestern united states, and even if i do manage to track some down around here it tends to be exceedingly expensive and in a less than convenient form of preparation for my needs. So more often than not it' s just less hassle for me to supplement and create a little bit.
besides, is it really so bad to inject a little inspiration and innovation into a dish whether or not it is within the confines of tradition for a particular regional cuisine? I' d say absolutely not but some people are just the most insufferable type of purists who simply do not know how to enjoy themselves, or they otherwise lack the capacity to do so entirely unless they' re adhering to a strict code of rules and regulations. Too bad and a damn bloody shame if you ask me. ...Expand 1

@Kewlausgirl2 years ago You guys didn' t mention any of the delicious baked goods from japan! For instance, in shibuya on the famous crossing, i think it' s across the road i forget the name of the place but the important part is i remember where it' s located for when i next visit japan!
and you might be thinking. Pfft we have breadtop, we know this deliciousness you mention. No. No you don' t. I still sometimes go to breadtop but it' s not the same. Nothing is the same. It' s so good. I had lots of deliciouspastry around japan where we travelled, but that store was the best!
at least that we could find! But even the other places we went to in japan were tiers above breadtop.
i just can' t explain how amazing this stuff was. We used to buy a lot of it in bulk to ration out as small breakfasts for each morning that we were in tokyo. When we weren' t eating 7/11 meals for breakfast to save for the more expensive places we were going to for lunch and dinner haha!. ...Expand 1
