Kibinago (Japanese Whiting) from Satsuma Sendai
From spring to early summer, Kibinago colors the dining tables of Satsuma Sendai. Although it is a small fish about ten centimeters long, Koshikijima, which belongs to Satsuma Sendai, is known as the 'Village of Kibinago' and is such a famous production area that it accounts for over twenty percent of the national catch. A local classic is to serve fresh kibinaga in 'kiku-zukuri' style—where the fish is opened by hand without a knife and arranged in a circle on a plate—and eaten with vinegar miso. The beautiful presentation, resembling a blooming chrysanthemum, delights the eyes as well. In spring, you can catch kibinago with eggs, allowing you to enjoy different seasonal flavors. It is also delicious as tempura or fried. Please enjoy the elegant sweetness hidden within its translucent flesh while it is in season.
