Hachinohe Grilled Mackerel Skewers
Crispy skin and succulent meat! A perfect way to savor the rich flavor of mackerel

About Hachinohe Grilled Mackerel Skewers

Hachinohe City, located in the northernmost region where mackerel are caught in Japan, is famous for its premium-quality mackerel. It is said that mackerel's fat content, a key to its delicious flavor, becomes richer when seawater temperatures are below 18°C. The mackerel from this area are known for their rich, meltingly smooth fat, earning high praise in the marketplace.

The Hachinohe Grilled Mackerel Skewers (八戸前沖さば串焼き, Hachinohe-maeoki saba kushiyaki) are expertly cooked over charcoal, creating a delightful contrast between the crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. It's the perfect dish to enjoy the pure, rich taste of mackerel's natural oils.
