-About ingredients-

Eel is one of the important ingredients in Japanese cuisine. In Japan, there is a custom of eating eel especially on the summer ox day, and dishes such as kabayaki and shirayaki are popular.

Kabayaki is grilled eel with a sweet-salty sauce. Generally, the sauce is made with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, etc. to give it a fragrant flavor. The sauce for kabayaki has slightly different flavors depending on the region.
