Introducing the charms of Ainame and recipes

What is Aione?

The fish known as ainame, or in Kansai, is a white sea shore fish with a body length of 25 to 30 cm. It has a refreshing taste, but is moderately fatty, providing a taste that is familiar to anglers. The season varies depending on the region, and is considered to be the most delicious in spring in Kansai and early summer in Kanto. When choosing a fresh anime, it is best to choose one with slimy skin.

How to eat Ainame

Ainame has many small bones, so when cooking, it is easier to eat by cutting the bones. You can enjoy it in a variety of cooking methods, such as teriyaki, boiled vegetables, hot pot dishes, and bowls. It is also a great sashimi if it is fresh.
