Very lovely dish!This is the kind of food makes me so want to move to Japan,I love katsuo,slightly smoky in the outside,especially good with all those wakame,and 薬味,but in HK,katsuo is so expensive ,almost triple the price,and the quality is never as good.And when I was in Japan,I always found them in supermarket selling at bargain price before closing....too bad for me now... Anyway,the colour of this 初鰹 is so beautiful,is it the characteristic of it,is it baby katsuo or just beginning of the katsuo season?I would appreciate if you could teach me a little!
Hi Rick! You are right. Spring is the beginning season of katsuo. So we call '初鰹' the spring katsuo. And we call '戻り鰹' the autumn katsuo. Spring katsuo is smaller than autumn one. In Mie, we can eat 刺身 of katsuo. It's very precious. I like smoked katsuo and nonsmoked one too.
すりおろしニンニク、すりおろし生姜、ワカメ、マロニー、ネギ、芹を薬味に初鰹。
うちの定番はにんにくスライス・おろし生姜・茗荷・大葉・ネギとたっぷりのオニオンスライスです〜(お〜っと、聞いてないって⁈😂)
にんにくは、ひろてんの家もスライスだったって言いながら食べてたよ〜
マロニーは随分前から残っていたから使ってしまいたくて…
というわけで色々と強引な組み合わせだったみたい(笑)
マロニーは新しい✨
鰹のたたきはもちろんニンニクたっぷりがマストです😁👍
マロニーは偶然というか残り物というか、そんな感じです😅
ニンニクたっぷり、休日前にしか食べられないね(笑)
