🐟 Authentic Grills at Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant

Background
Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant in Singapore specializes in unagi, or freshwater eel, prepared in the traditional Nagoya style. The restaurant is known for importing live eels directly from Japan, which are then freshly grilled over charcoal to bring out their smoky aroma and rich flavor. With its open kitchen and bustling atmosphere, it offers diners a glimpse into the meticulous preparation of this iconic Japanese delicacy.

Why It’s Worth Visiting
The menu highlights unagi in various forms, from classic hitsumabushi—where grilled eel is enjoyed in three different ways—to unagi donburi bowls and set meals. Each dish showcases the tender, caramelized eel glazed with tare sauce, balanced perfectly between sweet and savory. The freshness and authentic technique make it a rare and special experience outside Japan, especially for those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship in food.

My Impression
What makes Man Man Japanese Unagi unforgettable is the intensity of flavors layered into such a simple dish. The smoky char, the melt-in-your-mouth eel, and the comfort of steaming rice created a harmony that lingered long after the meal. For me, it felt like being transported straight to Japan, savoring an age-old tradition in the heart of Singapore.
