One of the fall favorites in Japan

In Japan, fishing for Mackerel Pike (Sanma, in Japanese) starts early July.  But they are at their tastiest in the fall, as they wear more fat going towards the breeding season.  We have received excellent Mackerel Pike from Japan, and after a day of curing by Chef Maeda, they are ready to be served.  Enjoy as sushi or sashimi (tataki).  The fall mackerel pike contains as much as 20% fat, fat that is both tasty and healthy as a source of Omega-3 fatty acid.

 

 

Chef Maeda has also prepared the Abalone Steamed in Sake, which gained many fans the last time he went through the five-hour process of steaming.  So, please come visit and enjoy the Edo-mae (Tokyo style) Sushi at Maeda Sushi Restaurant.
