This Saikyo zuke uses traditional miso floor and barrel miso, in which fish is carefully selected by craftsmen and custom-made Saikyo miso is used. The fish is then marinated for two times to give it a mellow and rich flavor. The meat melts in your mouth with just the touch of a chopstick. In addition to the saikyo-yaki, all set menus come with four small potted dishes that change with the seasons, rice, and miso soup, and the rice is first-class rice that is carefully selected by a five-star master chef to match the saikyo-yaki. The rice is first-class rice that goes well with the Saikyo-yaki and is carefully selected by a five-star meister.

［At Uotaru on the basement floor of JR Kyoto Isetan, the Saikyo pickles used at Saikyoyaki Yamaroku are also for sale. It is sure to make a great gift or souvenir, so be sure to stop by Uotaru as well.
