This dish is simply rice and eel. Probably if you were in Japan you would describe it by its Japanese name and then explain what it was"It's unadon: rice and grilled eel."
この料理は、シンプルにご飯とうなぎです。もし日本にいるなら、日本語の名称をそのまま使って、その後それが何なのか説明すると思います。
It's unadon: rice and grilled eel.(うな丼です、ご飯とうなぎのかば焼き)
Unadon is a large bowl of steamed white rice topped with eel fillets that are usually grilled kabayaki-style. The eel is glazed with a sweetened soy sauce and caramelized, often over charcoal fire. Then more sauce is added to ensure that both the fillets and the white rice are covered. Sometimes, dried sanshō berries are sprinkled on as seasoning. In the Kantō region, the eel is steamed before being grilled with sauce, which makes it more tender. In the Kansai region, the eel is grilled without steaming.
