Hamayaki (Whole fish grilled on bamboo skewers)
Fragrant and packed with the rich flavor of fish—Niigata-style hamayaki.
About Hamayaki (Whole fish grilled on bamboo skewers)
A local Niigata grilling method in which fish caught in abundance at fishing ports are skewered whole on bamboo and grilled. Hamayaki is cooked slowly over Uonuma white charcoal, which helps it become tender and moist through far-infrared heat while concentrating the fish’s flavor. Grilling also renders some of the fat, brings out a fragrant aroma, and helps preserve the fish for longer.
