Spring Has Arrived at Okaka with Fresh Sea Bream Shabu-Shabu
Starting on March 2, 2026, the popular shabu-shabu restaurant chain "Okaka" operated by Brand Bank Company will unveil its seasonal special: "Fresh Sea Bream Shabu-Shabu with Naru's Fresh Seaweed." With locations in Shinjuku, Ichigaya, Kitahama, and more, Okaka prepares to delight patrons with this exquisite dish.
Exquisite Ingredients
This shabu-shabu features the brand sea bream, "Shimai Mirai," nurtured in the Sukumo Bay of Kochi Prefecture. Known for its firm texture and delicate sweetness, it offers an elegant taste experience. The dish is enhanced by the addition of freshly sourced Naru seaweed from Tokushima, which thrives in the strong currents of the region, imparting a unique flavor and delightful crunch. Both ingredients shine when lightly cooked in a delicate broth provided by Okaka, alongside seasonal vegetables such as Kyoto's nanohana (rapeseed blossoms).
Sustainable Practices
Okaka not only emphasizes taste but also sustainability. The sea bream is cultivated using innovative practices by Marine Liner Co., aiming for responsible aquaculture recognized with ASC certification. Their commitment to creating environmentally friendly seafood options involves utilizing an automatic feeding system that tailors food quantities based on the fish's appetite. The diet is free from fishmeal, further preserving marine ecosystems while producing flavorful and nutritious sea bream. Each fish is grown with care to ensure optimal fat content and a tender body, meant to provide a delightful dining experience that is also conscientious in its sourcing.
