Shizuoka's food cultureKnow

The inland area of ​​the Izu Peninsula is famous for its river fish, typified by the wild ayu of the Kano River. Ayu that grows in the clear streams of the Izu Peninsula is characterized by its unique deep aroma. Ayu is also called ``fragrant fish,'' and its name comes from the sweet, watermelon-like scent that is unique to wild ayu. Wild ayu eats diatoms in clear streams by scraping them with their sharp teeth. This diatom is said to be the secret behind its unique sweet scent. And the best way to fully enjoy the charm of wild sweetfish is grilled with salt. The fragrant skin and slightly bitter flesh create an indescribably deep flavor. It can be said to be the king of river fish dishes that continue to be loved by Japanese people.
