The Honmoroko are flash-frozen to below freezing point immediately after being caught, a process called ikijime (live-killing) that locks in their flavor and freshness. They are then stored at -24°C, ensuring exceptional freshness.

The selling price is 50 yen per fish.
If you wish to purchase more, we can accommodate up to 4 packs. Please let us know your request in the comment section.
