Sendai Ayu (Sweetfish)

Skewered sweetfish, slowly grilled over charcoal. The skin becomes crispy and fragrant, while the flesh remains plump. As you bite into it, an elegant aroma—unbelievable for a river fish—spreads softly through your mouth. Sweetfish grow in the Sendai River, which boasts the largest flow rate in Kagoshima Prefecture. In this clear stream embraced by the forests of Mount Kirishima and the Kyushu Mountains, water rich in minerals from the upstream forests flows steadily toward the East China Sea. The sweetfish fishing season on the Sendai River opens every June. With the arrival of summer, freshly grilled sweetfish line the shops along the riverside. The refreshing aroma, reminiscent of watermelon, is unique to sweetfish raised in these clear streams. Sprinkle with salt and enjoy the whole fish from head to tail. Please enjoy the bounty of the river in its entirety.
