This one comes fresh from Chiba, directly transported, at around 1.6 lb per piece. Kinmedai is a luxury fish, with the finest coming from waters off Izu and the Boso Peninsula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eJi-kinme (地金目) is the regional, locally landed grade of the same fish — and the Choshi brand from Chiba stands out among them. Ji-kinme from Choshi, Katsuura, and Shimoda is celebrated for its exceptional thickness and fat content, the fish caught and landed close to shore rather than shipped in. It's the same species, at its regional best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChiba, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKinmedai (金目鯛) \/ Ji-kinme (地金目) — golden eye snapper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 1.6 lb per piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharacter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePinkish-red skin, gold eyes; rich yet delicate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eState\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFresh, directly transported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSimmered (nitsuke), sashimi, shabu-shabu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe classic is nitsuke — simmered whole or in fillets in a sweet soy broth, where the fat comes through and the skin turns glossy. Fresh kinmedai is also excellent as sashimi, silky and rich, or lightly seared skin-on (aburi). For a hot pot, thin slices in a shabu-shabu bring out the sweetness. Salt-grilling suits it too. Keep it cold and cook it fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-pairing\"\u003ePairing notes — sweet-soy nitsuke, grated ginger, sudachi or yuzu, and a dry sake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-rare-note\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships fresh, directly from Japan — pre-order is essential to source it at peak freshness.
