Nichinan Bonito

The sliced flesh is glossy, clear red, and melts in your mouth with every bite. You can experience the clean umami and chewy texture that only high-quality, fresh bonito possesses. When seared, the fragrant aroma rises, making it an irresistible accompaniment to rice. Nichinan City is a 'bonito town' boasting one of the highest landing volumes of pole-caught bonito in the country. Schools of fish riding the Kuroshio Current are lured with live sardines and caught one by one with a rod. Because pole-catching minimizes damage to the fish, they arrive at the port with pristine flesh. Locally, the 'Nichinan Pole-Caught Bonito Seared Rice Bowl' is also a popular dish. This is Nichinan's pride—bonito that allows you to taste the direct blessings of the sea.
