Kenken Bonito (Susami Town)
Nurtured by the Kuroshio Current, this skipjack tuna boasts exceptional freshness—Kenken Bonito, landed in Susami Town, is a local brand where each fish is carefully caught one by one. Kenken fishing is a method where lines with artificial lures are extended from small boats; as the boat moves, the lures mimic swimming prey to catch the tuna individually. It is said that this method originated when immigrants traveling from Kushimoto to Hawaii improved the technique locally and brought it back. Because the fish are immediately bled and landed on the same day, the freshness is outstanding. In 2006, it was registered as a regional collective trademark. With its chewy and elastic texture, it is exquisite whether served as sashimi or tataki. It offers the incomparable deliciousness of first bonito that can only be experienced when truly fresh.
