Katsuo (Skipjack Tuna) of Kuroshio Town
The star of the sea representing Tosa, brought to you by the Kuroshio Current. Facing the Pacific Ocean, Kuroshio Town is a thriving fishing town for skipjack tuna. The tradition of pole-and-line fishing—catching each migrating tuna one by one as they ride the Kuroshio Current offshore—is still very much alive today. The caught tuna is exceptionally fresh; when prepared as 'Warayaki Tataki' (seared with straw), the rich, natural umami of the skipjack rises along with a wonderful smoky aroma. There is the refreshing 'Hatsugatsuo' (first tuna of the season) that moves north in early summer, and the rich, fatty 'Modorigatsuo' (returning tuna) that returns in autumn. Being able to enjoy two different seasonal peaks in a single year is a luxury unique to Tosa's skipjack tuna. Please come and taste the powerful flavor nurtured by the Kuroshio Current.
