Savor Hamo Shabu to your heart's content
In Kyoto, hamo shabu (pike conger eel), which is popular from summer to fall, is offered. A course featuring puffer fish, the king of winter delicacies, is also popular.
Photo: Hamo Shabu Kaiseki, 9,680 yen (12,100 yen with grilled hamo & hamo sushi). Fresh hamo is briefly dipped in bonito broth and served with a special ponzu sauce. As autumn deepens, the fish becomes richer in flavor. Available from June to late October.
The beautiful seasonal presentation lifts the spirits.
Sashimi of hamo, wild sea bream, tuna, and sea urchin pairs perfectly with sake.
