Some people are put off by the meat which can taste a little slimy in the usual rendition.

Man Man, by Teppei of the famed Teppei at Orchid Hotel, created queues at it's Keong Siak outlet when it opened and made the queue worst when they got a Michelin Bib Gourmand later.
The item that made everyone return is the hitsumabushi, which essentially is unagi atop rice, edible in 3 different ways. 1. On it's own, 2. With condiments like negi and wasabi, 3. With dashi/tea

However, unagi is supposed to be meaty and fat so it complements the rice and egg well in una-ju, which wasn't the case here. Even the one I had at Hirokawa at Arashiyama doesn't come out as thin as these.

Maybe this level of crispiness works for the folks I mentioned in the first place.
