Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kohada

    Clean and gut the kohada, removing any scales and entrails. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and salt. Place the cleaned kohada in the marinade and let it sit for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Kohada

    Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium heat. Remove the kohada from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the grilled kohada and serve with grated daikon radish, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.
