Unagi Sushi Sauce, Kikkoman, Japan

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