Goto Kibinago (Silverstripe Round Herring)

Small, silver-glistening fish arranged beautifully like chrysanthemum flowers. Open them with your fingers, dip them lightly into vinegar miso, and take a bite. The translucent flesh is incredibly delicate, spreading an elegant sweetness and a melting texture across the palate. Kibinago are small fish about 10cm in length. Freshness is everything, as they weaken even slightly after being removed from the water; the transparency of the flesh is proof of its freshness. Goto is one of Japan's leading production areas for kibinago. We take pride in the fact that the kibinago caught here are larger than those from other regions. The most delicious way is, of course, as freshly caught sashimi. From autumn to winter when they are fatty, the flavor becomes truly exceptional. Please enjoy the fresh bounty of the island's sea.
