Ayu of Kozagawa River
The Kozagawa River is one of the most renowned clear streams on the Kii Peninsula. Raised in its crystal-clear currents, these natural Ayu sweetfish possess a rich aroma. Nurtured by the pure waters flowing through Kozagawa Town, surrounded by mountains, the flesh of these fish is firm and said to carry a refreshing scent reminiscent of watermelon. Those with particularly beautiful appearances are known as 'Bijo-ayu' (Beautiful Ayu), attracting anglers from across the nation who seek them out by name. When simply salt-grilled, the savory aroma and elegant flavor unique to river fish are further enhanced. This is a seasonal delicacy that allows you to taste the full bounty of the clear stream, available only during the height of summer. It is a fragrant and luxurious single fish, slowly nurtured by the rich nature of Kozagawa. Once you taste it, its purity becomes unforgettable.
