Unagi Sushi Sauce, Kikkoman, Japan, 975 ml

Unagi sauce originated in Japan and was traditionally used to accompany unagi (pickled and roasted eel). The sauce is a seasoning sauce that is ideal for sushi and sashimi cuisine. It is made primarily from soy sauce, mirin (a sweet rice wine), sugar, and a type of dashi (Japanese fish broth). Unagi, the pickled and roasted eel, has a long history and, from 1603 to 1868, was one of the more expensive and luxurious foods that often only the wealthy could afford. Today, unagi has lost its luxury status and is accessible to everyone. It is still a very popular dish, and unagi is often served with rice. Kikkoman's unagi sauce is versatile in Japanese cuisine and is often used for seasoning, refining, and marinating; there are no limits to creativity.
