I love these unagi-don dishes.

Ad Text in Japanese: 

「美味しいうなぎつかまえた。」

This ad isn’t too difficult, just a vocabulary issue, and one particle trick.

「美味しい」is the Kanji for the word we all know, 「おいしい」, delicious!

「うなぎ」is Japanese eel. Now you can order it at sushi shops! Seriously though, I love unagi-don, the dish you see pictured in the poster. It can be very expensive though… So I haven’t had it for a long long time…

「つかまえた」This is the past form of the verb 「つかまえる」which means “to catch”. It can also be written in Kanji as 「捕まえる」. A typical time to use this verb would be when you’re chasing a cockroach around your house and you finally grab it, you can yell 「つかまえたぞ！」 Or you can use it to say the cops caught the bad guys. 「警察が犯人を捕まえた。」

The particle 「を」is missing in this sentence, it should be between the 「うなぎ」and 「つかまえた」.  Not sure why they left it out. Just being casual, or to save space it seems.

That’s it!
