Ayu stewed in arima
Remove the scales from the sweetfish, make a slit in the belly of one side (the side that will be on top when placed with the head to the left and the belly facing you) with a knife, and push out the eggs a little
Place the seasonings (A) in a deep frying pan, arrange them with the cut side facing up, and heat over high heat
Add boiled Japanese pepper and when the soup starts to boil, cover with aluminum foil and simmer for about 40 minutes. If it looks like it is boiling down, add water little by little to adjust the consistency
Once the whole dish is shiny, remove from the heat and serve in a serving dish. Pour the remaining broth from the frying pan over it to finish
