Kubiore Saba (Broken-neck Mackerel)

Freshness high enough to be eaten as sashimi—that is Yakushima's Kubiore Saba. Chub Mackerel caught in the nearshore waters of Yakushima maintains exceptional freshness by breaking the neck and removing the blood immediately after landing. This 'neck-breaking' technique was originally something fishermen did themselves to enjoy fresh mackerel. The deliciousness of its firm meat became famous, and it is now widely known as a representative brand fish of Yakushima. Its translucent flesh is rich in plump elasticity. This masterpiece, which is said to 'surpass sea bream and flounder,' is exceptional when eaten as sashimi. Please savor this taste unique to Yakushima.
