Seki Aji & Seki Saba
When you pierce it with your chopsticks, the firm, springy flesh responds. Despite the rich fat, the aftertaste is clean, making you wonder if this is truly the same horse mackerel or mackerel. It is a brand-name fish that Seki takes great pride in. The fish are caught in the Bungo Channel (Hayasuki no Seto), which lies between Oita and Ehime. Because they grow in these waters characterized by fast currents and abundant prey, their flesh is said to be very firm. Due to the high waves and complex seabed, each fish is caught individually using traditional pole-and-line fishing. In 1996, it became the first fishery product in Japan to receive a trademark registration, and every single fish is guaranteed with its own tag. Great care is taken with Ikejime to preserve freshness. Please try it first as sashimi to experience that firm texture.
