Unagui It's time! Japanese Picoteo

Hello, how are you? I have days off on the beach so I have not included all the posts that I like, but right back to the load and energetically, to give you know good and how to cook Japanese dishes. Of course I love to send me feedback about any concerns you may have regarding this topic.

I come today to tell at this time of summer, which is still the seasonal Japanese dish is not kabayaki Unagui (eel first boiled, then grilled and kabayaki sauce).

At the request of some of you tell why you eat the Unagui in Japan at a given date in the year, particularly between late July and early August in the day called "Doyo no Ushi no Hi" (Day of the Ox ). It is said that this custom began in the Edo era. The fishing industry at that time suffered from low sales of eels and fish consulted one of the natural scientist Gennai Hiraga (1726 - 1779). That day was much heat as the eel is a very nutritious (rich in vitamin B1 and A, lowers blood cholesterol and contains DHA ... etc.) appointed him as a day of eating eel to beat the heat or the dojo no hi ushi not working well ... and this continues to this day. Must see things in the marketing!

The truth is that I learned this years ago thanks to my grandmother who lives in Tokyo, who first explained it to me one day I asked her to go buy Unagui.

Typically the Unagui be served in a beautiful bamboo box of black lacquer on the outside and red inside. And on a bed of white rice, but in this case, the rush, any dish you happen to catch a better hand. I have used a porcelain plate that is part of a dish "stolen" from my mother.

For me, the eel is a delicious dish, the eel meat is tender and smooth skin texture, flavor of the sauce is too sweet and blends well with the flavor of grilled eel.

this dish in a restaurant usually costs between 18 and 20 euros, and what you can do at home for about 10 euros.

eel is sold already cooked and frozen in the supermarket Tokyo-Ya, I know no other place in Madrid where to buy it.

is very easy to cook, eel gets its unopened bag in boiling water until see who is warm, and while we cook rice. Served over rice, and you're ready to eat! Hope you enjoy, let me know which one.
