Red Sea Bream from Karatsu

Raised amidst the turbulent waves of the Genkai Sea, this red sea bream features firm flesh, a refined sweetness, and meltingly rich fat. Every single slice of sashimi carries the bountiful essence of the ocean. For Karatsu, red sea bream is more than just a fish. A sea bream float is part of the 'Karatsu Kunchi,' one of Japan's three great festivals, and it has been cherished as the town's representative fish from ancient times to the present. In the Genkai area, small-scale, careful fishing is prevalent, and the sea bream brought to auction while still alive are considered of the highest freshness and quality. The seasonal red sea bream, in particular, is exceptional for its firm texture. Whether served as sashimi, salt-grilled, or simmered with its head (ara-daki), it is a proud taste nurtured by the seas of Karatsu, offering many different delights from a single fish.
