Mikan Tai

【Specifications】 Whole skinned, sashimi (sliced)
【Origin】Ehime Prefecture, Japan
【Features】
Japanese sea bream (mitan tai) is revered as the “King of Fish” because its name sounds like “congratulations,” making it a lucky symbol at celebrations and celebratory banquets. Originating from Ehime Prefecture, the land of mandarin oranges, this fish is fed with mandarin orange peel extract, resulting in translucent, perfectly odorless flesh with a subtle, refreshing citrus aroma. The fish has a vibrant, gorgeous bright pink body, and the flesh is a semi-transparent white, firm, and elastic, releasing a sweet and elegant oily aroma with each chew. Whether prepared as meticulously sliced sashimi, fragrant grilled sea bream, or the traditional “sea bream rice,” it perfectly showcases its regal elegance.
