Nigiri Unagi (Eel)

What this is

Nigiri Unagi (Eel) is a culinary masterpiece that showcases the delicate balance of tradition and flavour. Each piece features succulent, grilled eel perched atop perfectly seasoned sushi rice, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. The glossy sheen of the eel glistens invitingly, promising an unforgettable dining experience.

How it is made

Artisanal preparation begins with the meticulous selection of fresh eel, which is then marinated in a rich, sweet soy-based sauce known as kabayaki. This process infuses the fish with deep umami notes while enhancing its natural sweetness. After being grilled to perfection over charcoal, the eel is sliced with precision and elegantly placed on a small mound of vinegared rice, expertly shaped by our skilled chefs. A final brush of glaze adds a touch of brilliance, making each nigiri not just a dish but a work of art.

Where it is sourced

Our eel is sourced from sustainable fisheries in Australia, ensuring both quality and environmental responsibility. These waters are renowned for producing some of the finest eel available, where they are harvested at peak freshness. Our commitment to sustainability means you can savour every bite knowing it supports responsible fishing practices.

Flavour profile

The first taste reveals a delightful contrast between the tender, smoky eel and the subtly tangy sushi rice. The kabayaki glaze offers a luscious sweetness that complements the rich, buttery texture of the eel. Each mouthful delivers layers of flavour—smoky, sweet, and umami—that linger long after the last bite, leaving a memorable impression that beckons you back for more.
