Hidaka's Longtooth Grouper

Known as the king of winter delicacies, this phantom luxury fish—Hidaka Town has been a center for longtooth grouper cuisine since ancient times. It is a large member of the grouper family that can exceed one meter in length, and is also known as 'Ara' in Kyushu. Due to its slow growth and low catch volumes, it is a high-end fish that can cost tens of thousands of yen per kilogram during peak periods. It is said that the 'Kue Festival' held in Hidaka Town has continued since the Edo period, and it has long been loved locally as a traditional taste of the region. The season runs from autumn to winter, and many gourmets eagerly await this time of year. The Kue Nabe, soaked in the rich broth extracted from the fish, features exquisite elegant fat and elastic white meat. It is a luxurious feast that you truly want to taste in the winter.
