Anago Nigiri Sushi

Anago Nigiri Sushi is a type of sushi that uses the eel known as anago as its main ingredient. Anago is a salt-water eel that is found in the waters around Japan. The sushi is made by taking the cooked anago and wrapping it in a sheet of seaweed, known as nori. The sushi is then seasoned with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, before being served with a topping of shredded daikon, scallions, and shiso. Anago Nigiri Sushi is a popular dish in Japan, and is often served at sushi restaurants and parties.
