A sashimi dish made with Sakuradai (cherry blossom red sea bream, caught in Spring time). Red seabream is a type of fish that you can enjoy with many kinds of cooking. Enjoying this fish as sashimi is one the best ways to eat it. Chilly sake compliments this dish well.


桜鯛のお造り

桜鯛(ここでは春先に獲れる真鯛を指す)のお造り。どんな調理法でも美味しく食べられる鯛。お刺身でも抜群です。春の陽気を浴びた一日の終わりに、季節を先取る冷酒と頂きたいものです。
