Ozu Cormorant Fishing Sweetfish (Ayu)
Salted and slowly grilled over charcoal, the sweetfish features crispy, fragrant skin and plump flesh. A single bite releases a refreshing aroma reminiscent of watermelon, unique to sweetfish raised in clear streams. It is a dish that allows you to savor the full bounty of the Hiji River. The Hiji River in Ozu is one of Japan's three great cormorant fishing sites, alongside the Nagara River in Gifu and the Mikuma River in Oita. The 'Awase-ukai' (combined cormorant fishing), where boats with torch-bearing masters and pleasure boats descend the river together, is a quintessential summer night spectacle in Ozu. The sweetfish raised in this river possesses an exceptional aroma and firm texture. A taste of clear streams available only during the summer. We recommend enjoying it simply as salt-grilled to fully appreciate its fragrance.
