Unagi - Grilled eel
Japan
From the early 17th century onwards, unagi was an inexpensive and common meal among the people of Japan due to the abundance of eel in the rivers and streams. Its status as a delicacy nowadays can be blamed on Japan’s insatiable appetite for this delicious fish, traditionally eaten grilled and coated with sweet and salty tare sauce.
Unagi is said to give energy and vitality, so it has long been eaten on the Day of the Ox as a remedy for midsummer fatigue and as an aphrodisiac for men.
