2.Eat】This is the best time to eat! Do you know fatty "Ine Buri" (yellowtail)?

striped eel catfish (Plotosus lineatus)

Ine Town, located in the northeastern part of Kyotango City, is one of the three major yellowtail fishing grounds in Japan, and although aquaculture used to be very active, production has declined to the point where there are now only two fishermen, including Hashimoto Suisan. The low seawater temperature in Ine Bay allows the fish to grow slowly. This makes the yellowtail tighter, with just the right amount of fat, and tastes light and delicious. In particular, Hashimoto Suisan's cultured yellowtail has a higher reputation than natural yellowtail because of its high quality.
At the tourist exchange facility [Funaya Biyori], which opened in Ine-cho in April 2017, you can enjoy Ine-buri donburi for 2,000 yen on weekdays only from November to March. Try it with a bowl of rice topped with a bowl of buri served with yuzu pepper and salt for a refreshing taste.
