Unadon is a dish originating in Japan consisting of a donburi style bowl of steamed white rice topped with fillets of eel grilled in a style called kabayaki, similar to teriyaki. The fillets are glazed with a sweetened soy based sauce called tare and caramelized, preferably over a charcoal fire, with enough sauce poured over that some seeps into the rice beneath, and pulverized dried sansho berries are conventionally sprinkled on top as a seasoning. It is also popular outside Japan, particularly in Taiwan and the United States.
