Donchitchi Aji
When you pierce it with chopsticks, the fat oozes out smoothly—this is the brand horse mackerel that Hamada is proud of, often referred to as the 'Otoro (fatty tuna) of horse mackerel.' The Japanese jack mackerel landed at Hamada Port has significantly higher fat content than those from other regions. While typical horse mackerel have a fat content of about 7%, seasonal 'Donchitchi Aji' exceeds 10%, sometimes even surpassing 15%. Only those that meet this standard are permitted to bear the name. The term 'Donchitchi' is a nursery word derived from the rhythmic accompaniment of Iwami Kagura, a traditional performing art in western Shimane. It was established as a brand name by Hamada City in 2003. Experience the melting texture in sashimi, or enjoy the oozing fat in salt-grilled perfection. Please discover for yourself the deliciousness of this high-fat horse mackerel.
