1
Prepare the Eel
Clean the eel thoroughly and remove any bones. Cut it into fillets.
2
Make the Sauce
In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, salt, and grated ginger. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
3
Grill the Eel
Preheat a grill or broiler. Brush the eel fillets with the sauce and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side, basting with the sauce, until the eel is cooked through and has a nice glaze.
4
Garnish and Serve
Remove the eel from the grill, place on a serving platter, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm with additional sauce on the side.
