Sasaki Foods Yaki Anago Shoyu Aji 

This product is a soft grilled Anago sea eel snack that can be eaten without cooking. Flattened sea eel is grilled to a savory soy sauce flavor.

Just FYI – here is the difference between Anago (sea eel) and Unagi (freshwater eel). Anago, sea eel, is often eaten in Japan in savory seasoned soy sauce for sushi ingredient or deep-fried for Tempura. It is often compared to Unagi, freshwater eel, which is usually barbecued with a Kabayaki sauce. Anago is also slightly less rich and oily than Unagi.

This Anago snack is highly recommended for people who are looking for healthy snacks. It becomes a perfect pairing snack with alcoholic beverages.
