Japanese Seasonal Food
Japan is full of delicious food during this season.
Chestnut, sweet potato, persimmon, and so on.
My recommendation is Ankou←click.
It's "MONKFISH".
We call this fish "ANKOU" in Japanese.
It's very ugly, isn't it?
You doubt we actually eat it.
Believe it or not, it's very delicious.
Ibaraki where I live is famous for ANKOU.
It's deep-sea fish.
The best season is from November to February.
Yes !! It's NOW !!
Because of luxury fish, the price of ANKOU is a little high.
It's worthy of the price. It's very delicious.
To your surprise,
you can eat everything such as skin, internal organs, and gill, except bones.
My favorite is monkfish liver.
I guess you have no clue of it.
It resembles foie gras.
Is there anyone who wants to challenge ANKOU, reading this?
If you are, would you please come to Sakura Hostel Asakusa?
I'll give you a ride to the famous ANKOU spot by my car, if you want.
I can not treat you to ANKOU dish, though.
