Seasonal Delicacies at Sakura Suisan: Fresh Sanma from Toyosu
Sakura Suisan, a popular izakaya chain, continues its tradition of offering seasonal ingredients through its monthly limited-time menu titled
Ima Shun Menu. For September, the star of the show is nothing less than the exquisitely fresh “live” sanma, also known as mackerel pike, directly shipped from Toyosu Market!
The arrival of sanma signifies autumn in Japan, and this year's pick is particularly rich in flavor and quality. Utilizing an entire fish, the restaurant has curated an opulent selection of four dishes that capture the essence of the season:
1.
Live Sanma Sashimi - A beautifully plated sashimi showcasing the fresh sanma at its finest. Priced at 899 yen (tax included: 988 yen), this dish highlights the fish's buttery texture and savory taste, perfect for sashimi lovers.
2.
Sanma Nameko - A local delicacy made by mixing the rich fish with miso and various seasonings. This dish, also priced at 899 yen, pairs excellently with alcoholic beverages, making it a favorite among patrons seeking traditional flavors.
3.
Salt-Grilled Sanma - A classic preparation method that emphasizes the fish's natural flavors. Grilled to crispy perfection, this dish creates a delightful contrast between the crispy skin and the tender flesh, encapsulating the true taste of autumn—all for just 899 yen.
4.
Sanma, Maitake Mushroom, and Lotus Root Tempura - An exquisite tempura dish combining fresh sanma with seasonal vegetables. This dish promises a crunchy texture and the richness of natural flavors, available at the same price point of 899 yen.
Sakura Suisan prides itself on using premium, fresh ingredients sourced directly from Toyosu. Every month, expert buyers handpick the best catches, which are then skillfully prepared by the restaurant's chefs to ensure a genuinely delightful experience that resonates with the changing seasons.
The
Ima Shun Menu not only serves delectable dishes but also offers diners a taste of Japan’s seasons through food, providing a unique opportunity to partake in the flavors of nature throughout the year.
