Splendid Alfonsino (Kinmedai)
selling point
The splendid alfonsino, a bright red fish representative of the Izu region, gets its name from its large, golden eyes that shine brightly, allowing it to search for food even in the deep sea. The “Ji-kinme,” caught in day-fishing operations, is primarily landed at the ports of Ito, Inatori, and Shimoda. This is due to the presence of rich fishing grounds around Izu, and the ability to land the fish on the same day they are caught ensures their high freshness, making them suitable for sashimi. “Suzaki’s Day-Returned Kinmedai” and “Inatori Kinme” have been certified by the Shizuoka Food Selection, and “Inatori Kinme” is also registered as a regional collective trademark.
