Yunnan-style Grilled Mackerel
A single mackerel is skewered and grilled with great vigor. The Yunnan-style grilled mackerel carries the history of the mountain villages within it. Historically, the area around Kizaki in Yunnan City, being far from the sea, was known as the 'limit of where fresh fish from the Sea of Japan could reach.' It is said that during the era when the tatara ironmaking industry flourished, fishmongers began skewering and grilling mackerel to sell even deeper into the mountains. This was a crystallization of ancestral wisdom—grilling the fish to make it last longer so that precious seafood could be delivered to remote mountain villages. Fragrant, grilled mackerel has long been cherished as a delicacy for festivals and special occasions. Taking a bite of the rich, fatty meat, one can almost feel the history of this tatara village and the culinary culture of the San'in region.
