Hitsumabushi

Hitsumabushi is a traditional dish originating from Nagoya. Although it's similar to unadon regarding most of the ingredients, histumabushi consists of sliced grilled eel that's served on top of steamed rice, but it's accompanied by assorted condiments and garnishes.

The dish is also served in a very specific way – everything is divided into four portions. The first portion is eaten as it is, the second is accompanied by condiments such as nori seaweed, chopped green onions, and wasabi. The third portion is the same as the second, with the addition of dashi broth or green tea (eaten like a soup), and the last portion is eaten however you like.

It is believed that histumabushi dates back to the end of Meiji Era, when waitresses served chopped grilled eel on rice into individual bowls.
