Aji. The popular Japanese fish whose name says it all.

Japanese horse mackerel (aji) is extremely popular year-round in Japan, but tastes best in spring and summer. Its name was derived from the Japanese word for taste (aji), reflecting its flavorful nature. Harvested in abundance along the coastlines of Japan, aji is nutritious, full of vitamin B1 and quite affordable except when purchased from prestigious fishing grounds and served as sushi. It can also be simmered in soy sauce, marinated in vinegar, grilled with salt (shio-yaki), dried (himono), or minced and mixed with miso paste in "fishermen’s soul food" (namerou).
