Kamigoto Kueru (Longtooth Grouper)
Take a piece of the plump white flesh from the bubbling pot. While it may look lean, it overflows with umami the more you chew. The skin is jiggly and the meat is tender. Even the final rice porridge (zosui) is infused with all that deliciousness, making every last drop precious. Kueru is a high-end fish that hides an incredibly rich umami despite being white-fisted. In season during winter, its hot pot is known as a delicacy on par with pufferfish (fugu) hot pot. Nagasaki boasts the highest catch volume of wild Kueru in Japan. High-quality Kueru is also caught in the seas of Goto. The charm lies in enjoying two textures from a single fish: crunchy when raw and plump when cooked. It is a luxurious hot pot perfect for the cold season.
