July's Seasonal Fish: "Hamo" (Pike Conger Eel)

Hamo from Awaji Island are known for their slender bodies and firm flesh, and those with beautiful golden scales are called "Beppin Hamo" or "Kogane Hamo."

They are especially prized in Kyoto and Osaka and are an essential part of the "Hamo Matsuri" (Hamo Festival) during Kyoto's "Gion Matsuri" and Osaka's "Tenjin Matsuri."

Thus, Hamo is strongly associated with summer flavors.

Generally, the period from June to August, before spawning, is said to be the best time for its light and delicious flesh, but it also has another delicious period in the fall.

July's Seasonal Fish: "Suzuki" (Japanese Seabass)

Suzuki is said to become delicious after absorbing the rainy season's water, making June its peak season.

It is a representative white fish that becomes delicious in summer, with a tender texture. Suzuki sashimi is a summer staple. It has good fat content and becomes refreshing when lightly rinsed.

The skin of Suzuki is thick and flavorful, making it delicious even when grilled. Its firm white flesh is also suitable for steaming.

"Sushitomi" Sushi Restaurant: Uncompromisingly authentic pieces where Awaji Island's seasonality and artisan skill shine.

"We want more people to know about Awaji Island sushi," says Sushitomi, which offers carefully selected ingredients. Focusing on fish from the waters around Awaji Island, such as Hamo from Numashima, red sea urchin from Yura, and Awaji Island 3-year-old tiger pufferfish from Fukura, you can fully enjoy the seasonal flavors of the time.

Furthermore, the red vinegar used for the sushi rice is aged for one month with kelp, salt, and lemon, and then finished with salt and sugar, resulting in a very mellow taste. Please enjoy these unique pieces from Awaji Island, prepared with care and time.
