  • Eel is one of the most traditional ingredients in Japanese cooking. But in the U.S., the delicacy is still largely misunderstood. On this episode of Gochi Gang, Reina Scully is embarking on an eel-eating adventure. First, Chef Hiroki Fukushima gives Reina a crash course in the preparation of unagi, or freshwater eel, at Unagi Aburi Ittetsu. And later, Reina teams up with WWE superstar and sushi obsessive Asuka for an omakase experience centered around anago, unagi's saltwater cousin. Will this deep-dive into the fascinating world of Japanese eel give Asuka the strength she needs to win her next fight? Find out on an all-new episode of Gochi Gang.

    No idea why I don't get notifications whenever a Gochi Gang video is posted. Anyhoo, this was another fantastic episode.

    Unagi / unadon is probably my favorite meal in the world. It is incredible. Sadly, eels are becoming more and more rare... =( The Japanese Eel is classified as endangered now...
