Kyoichi

Profile details

Kyoichi is the managing director of the Tosashimizu Tourism Association. A man who can't stop loving his hometown is opening up the future of tourism in Tosashimizu City with the intention of returning the favor to this town where he was born and raised! Wow, bonito has performed in straw for close to 30 years! He is a master of straw grilling who has performed over 100 times so far. Kyoichi said, “Kyoichi's today is good!” Along with that funny thing, there's no one that comes out on the right for the connoisseur's ability to determine the best skipjack tuna of the day!

I recommend this place!
1 First, take a close look at the impressive serie!

First, under the guidance of Kyoichi, we will take a close look at the impressive market where the lively voices of the contestants and buyers resonate. After the tour, the best skipjack tuna of the day will be selected by Kyoichi's connoisseur, who has been baking straw for about 30 years and has practiced over 100 times!

2 A dismantling show with the ultimate freshness of bonito purchased in its entirety!

Tosashimizu City, where Kuroshio first docks, is the “birthplace of seared bonito.” Along with his brilliant handwork, Kyoichi happily tells us about Tosashimizu and the history of bonito tataki with plenty of humor.

3 Try straw grilling freshly picked bonito yourself!

We will have an exciting straw roasting experience using the freshest bonito harvested that day.

Even when it comes to tataki bonito, cooking it with “straw grilling” is the Kochi style. By straw grilling bonito with your own hands, it's not just a dish, but a moment to enjoy the blessings of nature. The more time and effort you put in, the more delicious it is!

4 A luxurious comparison of 3 types of bonito dishes ♪

You will be asked to eat and compare 3 types of luxurious bonito dishes: sashimi and straw grilled bonito tataki (salt, vinegar, soy sauce).

If you eat one bite, you can feel the difference in freshness, such as its chewy texture and melting in your mouth.

Please fully enjoy the differences in flavor and texture brought out by each cooking method.
