From time to time ~ Fishmonger ~

There is a mobile fishmonger that sells fish from around Sannenzaka as far as Chawanzaka.
They've been in business for about 60 years, and deliver seafood to Shimizu almost every day.
Nowadays, it seems that there are almost no fishmongers operating in this style anymore.


We buy it at the wholesale market early in the morning, fillet it in front of the store, and serve it as sashimi, or grill it with salt or teriyaki over charcoal, making it an indispensable item in our home.
I think it's only in Kyoto that they can continue in the same style.

Conger eel is the star of the season. The Gion Festival in July is also known as the Conger Eel Festival. Conger eel is a fish that is perfect for hot weather, as it is used in dishes such as otoshi (simmered conger eel), kabayaki (grilled eel), shabu-shabu (hot pot), and sushi rolls.
However, it seems that the appearance of this ingredient is unfamiliar to people from overseas, and it seems that there is often just one left in restaurants.
