Lemon yellowtail

[Featured column]
Lemon yellowtail

“Lemon yellowtail” is grown by mixing the juice of Hiroshima lemons to yellowtail's feed farmed on Atadajima in Otake City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

By mixing citrus fruits into the bait, the fishy smell is reduced, and the citrus flavor with a faint scent become clear. Especially in winter, when it's the best season to eat it, we recommend sashimi as well as shabu-shabu.

Nowadays, it is named “Atata Hamachi to Lemon” and efforts to brand it have begun.
