Hamo Dishes introduction
Hamo dishes (鱧料理, Hamo ryouri) have been cherished in Nakatsu for generations. The peak seasons for hamo are summer, autumn, and winter, offering three chances a year to enjoy its unique flavors. From sashimi with its soft, delicate texture to tempura, soups, shumai dumplings, and hot pot, the versatility of hamo ensures there's always more to discover. Hamo is rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutritious choice. It contains vitamin A, which helps prevent aging of the skin and blood vessels, and vitamin B2, which aids in fat metabolism. Additionally, its skin is packed with collagen, which is known for its beauty-boosting properties. Hamo's appeal is further enhanced through a special technique called "honegiri" (bone cutting). This intricate method ensures that the small bones are finely cut, allowing you to enjoy the tender flesh and bones together in a harmonious bite.
