What it is

Key ingredients
Conger eel, sea salt, cooking oil (minimal, for grilling), optional lemon, wasabi, sugar-free soy sauce.
Optional tweaks
Explicitly confirm no sweet tare sauce is used. Request plain grilled with salt. Avoid regular soy sauce (contains wheat/sugar) and opt for sugar-free if available.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
