I liked how the eel had no bones at all and there was a very generous amount of it. However, the eel itself was too soft and fluffy for my liking; it had the texture of parboiled eel more than grilled. The unagi sauce was very light as well. I bet there are people who enjoy the pure taste of grilled eel, but I am personally not a big fan.
