About Kinmedai no Nitsuke (Braised splendid alfonsino in soy and mirin)

Kinmedai, a fish emblematic of the Izu region in Shizuoka Prefecture, has a refined flavor with no strong fishiness and a rich, subtly sweet taste. Its thick flesh is moist and tender. A classic way to prepare it is to simmer it with mirin and soy sauce, but fresh kinmedai is also enjoyed as sashimi or sushi, where it has a pleasantly chewy texture and a hint of sweetness. It can also be salt-grilled, added to hot pot, or marinated in miso, and works well in Western-style dishes such as bouillabaisse, carpaccio, and meunière.
