Toyama Winter Yellowtail introduction

The winter yellowtail, known as "kan-buri" (寒ブリ), refers to yellowtail caught during the cold season. Among them, the rich and fatty "Himi Winter Yellowtail" from the waters off Himi, in Toyama Bay, is celebrated as the most delicious in Japan. It is a top-tier winter delicacy that can be enjoyed in various preparations, from grilled to raw. Many people visit Toyama Prefecture to savor the incredible flavors of kan-buri, which becomes tastier as temperatures drop. Popular dishes include salt-grilled yellowtail collar, yellowtail shabu-shabu, sashimi, and simmered yellowtail with daikon radish.
