The sesame mackerel at Danji is made from the freshest mackerel and carefully prepared with a special sesame sauce and aromatic condiments. The flavor of the fatty mackerel and the rich sesame sauce intertwine perfectly, making it an excellent dish that goes well with both rice and sake. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and robust flavor are highly appreciated by locals who are accustomed to eating sesame mackerel.
