Towada-ko Himemes (Lake Towada Kokanee)
When you pierce the light pink flesh with chopsticks, it gently and softly flakes away. Despite being a freshwater fish, it is perfectly fatty, and once in your mouth, a subtle sweetness drifts over your palate—this is the Himemes of Lake Towada. Although a relative of the salmon, Himemes are raised in the clear waters of a lake isolated from the sea. We take pride in the fact that they have absolutely no fishy odor and possess firm, tight flesh. When salt-grilled, the skin becomes crispy while the flesh remains plump and juicy. When fresh, you can fully enjoy its clear, elegant flavor through sashimi or pressed sushi. This is a true blessing of the lake—a single fish nurtured slowly over time by the cold, pure waters of Lake Towada.
