Kanpachi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, sesame oil, and fresh lime juice. This will serve as the marinade for the kanpachi.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the kanpachi fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

  3. 3

    Slice the Kanpachi

    After marinating, remove the kanpachi from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, slice the fish into thin sashimi pieces.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the sliced kanpachi on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped scallions, wasabi, and pickled ginger. Sprinkle a little sea salt over the top if desired.
