Wild Ayu (Sweetfish) from the Takatsu River
When grilled, the skin becomes crispy and the flesh stays light and airy. A pure fragrance, often compared to watermelon, wafts through the nose—this is wild sweetfish raised in the pristine Takatsu River. The Takatsu River is a Class A river without any dams. Its clear waters, which have been selected multiple times as having the best water quality in Japan, nurture high-quality moss on the rocky surfaces. Sweetfish that feed abundantly on this moss develop a strong aroma and an elegant, clean umami flavor. The sweetfish fishing season opens in early summer, making it the main attraction for anglers gathering from all over the country. In salt-grilled style, the fish is grilled slowly over charcoal with a sprinkle of salt, served whole from head to tail. Please enjoy the full bounty of the clear stream: the fragrant skin, the tender flesh, and the subtle bitterness of the innards.
