Iwao, Quality Izakaya Dining With the Best of Shizuoka

Iwao serves this fine fish as sashimi or carpaccio, and it is just as delicious when steamed, fried, or cooked. At this restaurant, Akafuji is also offered as kushiage, deep-fried and served on skewers, and seiro-meshi, rice cooked with dashi stock, then topped with ingredients and then steamed. While some may not be fond of freshwater fish, Akauji is the finest quality, with no peculiarity or smell, testimony to the high level of aquaculture technology. It is easy to season and can be applied to various dishes. The combination of Akafuji trout and Shizuoka’s finest ingredients and seasonings, eaten with local mandarin orange juice and sushi vinegar all procured from the farmers and producers, is also good dining.
