Combine the soy sauce, apple juice, sugar, and water in a small pot.
Simmer the tare sauce for 6 minutes until lightly thickened.
Warm the unagi fillets at 180°C for 5 minutes.
Brush the fish with the tare sauce.
Warm the fish for 3 more minutes and brush again.
Divide the hot rice among bowls.
Place the unagi over the rice and serve with sansho pepper.
💡 Tip: Brushing the sauce on in several layers builds a glossy, sticky coat over the fish.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle with sansho pepper and serve with pickled cucumber on the side.
