Anago Meshi

This is a famous dish from the Seto Inland Sea region which has been rich in high quality anago (sea eel) since ancient times. Fresh tender anago is grilled over a charcoal fire until smoky, slathered in a sweet and salty sauce made from soy sauce and mirin, and then placed on rice. Anago meshi can be eating in Miyajima, Hatsukaichi, Onomichi and on the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
