Natural Ayu (Sweetfish) from the Yodo River in Hirakata

A taste of early summer nurtured by the currents of the Yodo River. In the Yodo River, which flows through Hirakata City, you can enjoy natural sweetfish during the summer. Known as a fish that lives in clean rivers, sweetfish are also called 'fragrant fish' due to their pure aroma reminiscent of watermelon. For locals, encountering natural sweetfish in such a large river flowing through an urban area is a seasonal highlight that marks the changing seasons. When salt-grilled, the plump white flesh and the pleasantly bitter flavor of the innards spread throughout the mouth. A single fish, skewered and slowly grilled over charcoal, is a delicacy that makes you want to bite right in from the head. Squeezing a bit of sudachi citrus further enhances its refreshing aroma. Tasting seasonal sweetfish by the riverside offers an exceptional deliciousness unique to early summer.
