Japanese amberjack (buri)
Buri is the name given to amberjack of 10kg or more with some fish growing to around 16kg. Late autumn and winter specimens are given the honorary title of ‘kan’ or ‘cold-weather’ buri. The schools migrating from Toyama Bay to Sadogashima during December are deemed in class of their own; that is. Offering a taste experience of an entirely different dimension These mature buri boast flavor to rival Bluefin tuna, the scent of blood and slight tartness of iron supplemented by the sweetness and succulent aroma of their silky-smooth fat. This aroma is precisely what makes cold-weather buri arriving from harsh winter storms and high seas so appealing.
