Sawara - Fish of spring

"Sawara", Japanese Spanish mackerel has so unique name. In English, It seems roundabout from word "Japanese Spanish". And in Japanes, its "kanji (Chinese character)" means fish of spring.

Japanese Spanish mackerel is so tasty, as Sashimi, roast, and simmered in miso. Most delicious one is fishing in Toyama bay, I recommend. Of cause, it is so tasty wherever it fished in.

Yesterday, I taste it by Sashimi. It was lovely, bland in taste, good in taste, and going well with beer. I descript nothing anymore.
