Karei. One of Japan's flat-out favorites.
-
Light and tasty, containing little oil but plenty of stress-releasing vitamin B1, karei (flounder) is a favorite among men and women of all ages throughout Japan. The lightness of the meat makes it popular among the sick and elderly, and women love it for the fullness of its skin-beautifying collagen. The most common recipe for karei, which is mainly harvested in Hokkaido, is a sweet and rich simmered dish called nitsuke. The fins of karei, known as engawa, are a delicacy when served raw as sushi. Visitors to Japan are encouraged to try delicious karei at least once during their stay.
