Grilled mackerel from Yunnan introduction

The local dish “grilled mackerel” from Unnan City, Shimane Prefecture has a unique food culture using fresh mackerel even though it is inland. The reason behind this is that in the past, when mackerel caught in the Sea of Japan was transported inland raw, Unnan City was a limit point for transportation. The culture of grilling mackerel here and delivering it further to the outback took root. The characteristic of grilled mackerel from Yunnan is that the mackerel on skewers is slowly grilled over charcoal, so you can enjoy the crispy and fragrant outside and plump and juicy on the inside. It is also excellent in terms of nutrition, and mackerel is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, and EPA, which contribute to reducing the risk of heart disease and improving brain function. Grilled mackerel from Yunnan is loved by many people as a special flavor created by history and climate.
