Naruto Sea Bream

When you pick up a slice with your chopsticks, the flesh is plump and firm, releasing umami with every bite. Raised amidst powerful currents, this red sea bream possesses a uniquely distinct texture—this is Naruto Tai. They are raised in the Naruto Strait, which is counted as one of the three greatest tidal currents in the world. Because they swim through currents so fast they can cause bumps on their bones, it is said that their flesh becomes exceptionally firm. The whirlpools stir the sea from the bottom, distributing nutrients and plankton, making this sea a true treasure chest for fish. In particular, red sea bream in the spring before spawning are called 'Sakura-dai' (Cherry Blossom Sea Bream) and become even more delicious with a perfect amount of fat. Whether as sashimi, salt-grilled, or in tai-meshi, this is an exquisite fish nurtured by the Naruto whirlpools.
