I always told my kids to stay curious, curious in what consider good things, to stay curious are how we maintain fresh stream of knowledge, at least for me.

That is how this dishes are came from, curiosity. Long before I am into plant based, unagi are one of my favourite  Japanese delicacy. Unagi are eels, it is consider as delicacy as for it rareness, and the specific way of how to prepare it.

Well, I have to give you disclaimer that to make this dishes are quite intricate, but it all pay off with yummy end result, it is soft sweet savoury, the texture are uncanny with the original unagi, lot meatiness for me 😀

So shall we, let take a flight to Tokyo
