1
Prepare the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Grill the Eel
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the unagi on the grill and brush them with the prepared sauce. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, basting with more sauce, until the eel is heated through and caramelized.

3
Plate the Dish
On a serving plate, place a generous scoop of steamed rice. Lay the grilled unagi pieces over the rice.
4
Garnish
Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the eel and rice. Cut the nori sheet into strips and serve on the side as a garnish or for wrapping.
