Tai-meshi (Sea Bream Rice)

About Tai-meshi (Sea Bream Rice)

While Tai-meshi (鯛めし, Sea Bream Rice) can be found throughout Japan, Kanagawa's version is particularly cherished, especially in areas like Odawara and Hakone. You can also enjoy it as an ekiben (train station bento) at stations such as Yokohama or Odawara.

Unlike the western Japan style, where the sea bream is cooked together with the rice, in Kanagawa, the rice is cooked in a rich kelp-based dashi broth, and the tender, flaked sea bream is layered on top before serving. This delightful dish perfectly showcases the delicate aroma and flavor of the sea bream, making it an irresistible treat.
