Exceptionally fatty! Now is the best time to enjoy off-season Spanish mackerel!
At Uzunooka, the restaurant with breathtaking views, the "Off-Season Spanish Mackerel" menu will be available starting Thursday, September 24, 2026!
Of course, this is a flavor you can only enjoy during this season! We also offer a selection of exquisite dishes featuring rare fresh Spanish mackerel!
The peak season for Spanish mackerel on Awaji Island is from spring to fall. Autumn Spanish mackerel is called “Kansawara,” and its flesh—which has built up fat in preparation for winter and rivals even the richest cuts of tuna—delights even the most discerning gourmets. “Raw Spanish mackerel” is also known for spoiling very quickly. Until now, only people in fishing villages had the opportunity to eat it. However, driven by our desire for more people to experience the deliciousness of fresh raw Spanish mackerel, our restaurant has developed an original raw Spanish mackerel menu.
I love this melt-in-your-mouth Spanish mackerel dish that really captures the essence of fall
