Catfish Cuisine of Tatebayashi
Inside the crispy fried batter lies a plump, white flesh. With just one bite, you will experience a mild flavor and an elegant sweetness that spreads gently, far beyond what its appearance suggests. Crispy deep-fried tempura is the most delicious way to enjoy catfish. The area around Tatebayashi and the neighboring Itakura Town is a water-rich region dotted with rivers and marshes. Since ancient times, restaurants specializing in river fish have lined the streets, serving catfish tempura to pilgrims traveling from afar. Catfish is a white-fleshed fish that pairs well with oil, becoming plump and tender when fried. Another popular method is 'tataki-age,' where the bones and flesh are pounded and mixed with vegetables to be formed into dumplings and then deep-fried. This is a nutritious river fish cuisine that the water-rich region has preserved through the ages.
