Unaju not Unadon
Yes, it is sometimes called unadon when served over rice but it is more often called unaju. The difference is that unadon is served in a circular bowl while an unaju is served usually in laquered box. It is most often served in the laquered boxes since the rectangular pieces of the unagi fit better in the rectangular boxes.

Unaju AND Unadon: Both of these words are used in the Japanese vocabulary, though used in different situations. When served in a circular bowl, a la "donburi" (can be translated as 'rice bowl') it is called, "unadon," a contraction of "unagi" and "donburi." Quite a lot of donburi dishes exist that have been contracted to just "x-don." For example, oyako-don (parent/child [chicken and egg] rice bowl), ten-don (tenpura rice bowl), gyu-don (beef rice bowl), etc. "Unadon" is simply one more "donburi" style rice bowl with unagi on it.
Unaju (うな重) is specifically reserved for unagi served from a square laquer dish. It is usually a lot more unagi than that which is served on donburi, and it is usually much more high-quality, which is why unaju is a lot more expensive. To some Japanese, calling a cheap unagi rice-bowl you buy at a cafeteria (食堂, shokudo) "unaju" is a bit of an overstatement. If you promise KogeJoe (talk) 05:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
