Sweet Simmered Carp
A must-have dish for celebratory occasions in Yonezawa
About Sweet Simmered Carp
Sweet Simmered Carp (鯉のうま煮, Koi no Umani) is a signature dish of Yonezawa, representing its traditional carp cuisine.
The carp is sliced into rounds and simmered with sugar, soy sauce, and sake, creating a flavorful and tender dish. The slow cooking process softens the bones so much that they can be eaten, and any freshwater fish smell is completely removed, making it easy to enjoy. Loved by many locals, it’s a true favorite.
In Yamagata Prefecture, this delicacy is often served during festive events such as New Year’s, Obon, and weddings, as a symbol of celebration.
