Tokobushi
Even tastier than abalone? A perfect pairing with your favorite drink

Tokobushi

About Tokobushi

Tokobushi (とこぶし) resembles abalone in shape but is slightly smaller in size. Its meat is tender and is affectionately called "Nagarame" by the people of Kagoshima.

While it is commonly enjoyed as sashimi, it is also delightful when grilled with miso or served as tempura.
