Tachiuo (Largehead Hairtail)

With its long, slender body shining in silver, it looks just like a single unsheathed sword (tachi). Beyond its visual beauty, the white flesh with elegant fat is so delicious it will make you sigh, whether eaten as sashimi or salt-grilled. Tachiuo is a fish caught off the coast of Oita, including the waters off the Kunisaki Peninsula. Raised in calm seas, the flesh is soft; when cooked, it becomes plump, and when eaten raw, it offers a melting texture. In Kunisaki, it is landed via longline fishing where each fish is caught individually, boasting excellent freshness. The season is from autumn to winter. It pairs well with any dish, such as salt-grilling, sashimi, tempura, or karaage (fried chicken style). Please enjoy this seafood from the Oita sea, wrapped in a silver shimmer.
