The King of Winter: A Love Affair with Sado's Winter Yellowtail: Kanburi
In the winter, when cold winds from the northwest begin to chill the air, the yellowtails start their journey south. These delicious creatures are first caught near Sado, earlier than in any other areas of Japan. Sado's Kanburi (winter yellowtail) is one of Niigata's famous branded foods. We'll tell you all about Sado's Kanburi that's worth the trip across the stormy sea.
