Himi Kanburi (Winter Yellowtail of Himi)

Himi Kanburi (Winter Yellowtail of Himi)

Japan’s finest kanburi harvested in the extremely cold city of Himi. Its round and plump flesh with plenty of fat is the best!

Traveling throughout the Sea of Japan from Kyushu to Hokkaido, the fatty yellowtail that comes to Toyama Prefecture in winter is absolutely the best in Japan. The superb kanburi can be savored in dishes such as sashimi, grilled with salt and shabu-shabu.
