Kushimoto Skipjack Tuna

This is lively skipjack tuna landed in Kushimoto, a town at the southernmost tip of Honshu where the Kuroshio Current dances. Kushimoto is known as the birthplace of 'Kenken-ryo,' a fishing method where northward-migrating skipjack are caught one by one with a line. Because the fish are immediately bled, chilled thoroughly with ice, and transported to the port on the same day, the freshness is outstanding. The firm-fleshed tuna is delivered nationwide under the brand name 'Shorasan Katsuo.' When enjoyed as tataki or sashimi, the powerful umami characteristic of the Kuroshio Current spreads throughout your mouth. One of the joys is experiencing how the flavor profile changes during its respective seasons in spring and autumn. It is a prideful seafood treasure from the southernmost port town of Honshu.
