About Arakabu (Kasago)

Arakabu (アラカブ, also known as Kasago) is a type of fish found in the waters of the Genkai Sea, off the coast of Kyushu. It is a white-fleshed fish with a rich, smooth texture and a light, refreshing flavor.

While it's delightful as sashimi when fresh, Arakabu is a versatile ingredient that pairs well with various cooking methods, such as simmering in savory sauces, grilling with a sprinkle of salt, or even deep-frying whole for a crispy treat.

A local favorite is miso soup made with the flavorful broth of Arakabu. The umami essence of the fish blends harmoniously with the miso, creating a deep, comforting taste that's truly addictive.
