Hachinohe Maeoki Saba (Mackerel)
When you pierce it with chopsticks, the fat melts away. Whether grilled or cured, it offers a melt-in-your-mouth umami—this is the renowned Hachinohe Maeoki Saba. In the Hachinohe Maeoki fishing grounds, the northernmost mackerel grounds on Honshu, seawater temperatures drop early starting in early autumn, which is said to make the fish much fattier than those from other regions. The fat content is over 15%, and it is also rich in DHA and EPA. Focusing on this advantage, a council was established in 2008 by local fisheries, tourism, food service, and government sectors to create a new food brand. They certify the mackerel every year based on catch conditions and fat content. Please enjoy a slice of this incredibly fatty mackerel.
