Eel is a type of creature that usually found hiding in caves or burying themselves in soft sediment or sand. They act that way because they love to stay in narrow spaces.
Because of that, Sendai Umino-Mori, an aquarium that is located in Japan has come up with an adorable place to hide for eels by installing ehomaki or better know as “sushi roll” cylinders for their eels to slide into.
Anago that is also known as conger eel, can grow to about 40cm to 90cm and are usually used as an ingredient in ehomaki. Contrary to unagi, which is freshwater eel, anago is saltwater eel.
