ひつまぶし is a traditional Japanese dish made with grilled unagi (eel) served over a bowl of rice. It originates from Nagoya and is known for its unique preparation and serving style. The eel is typically seasoned with a sweet soy-based sauce, giving it a rich flavor that complements the rice. The dish is enjoyed in three distinct ways. First, diners eat it as is, savoring the combination of eel and rice. Next, they can add condiments like wasabi or nori (seaweed) for extra flavor. Finally, it can be enjoyed with a warm dashi broth poured over the top, creating a comforting soup-like experience.
