July 26th is International Unagi Day, and you can take part with Nakato Japanese Restaurant’s Unagi Day Bento Box!
Japan’s Doyo no Ushi no Hi, or Midsummer Day of the Ox, is a traditional day where families and friends enjoy unagi — grilled eel brushed with savory-sweet sauce — as a way to beat the heat.
Nakato Japanese Restaurant is sharing this Japanese summer tradition with their guests through a special Unagi Bento, available for pre-sale pickup on Sunday July 26th and in-house dining, for $35.
