straw-grilled style! 】 Kure, Nakatosa-cho, Kochi Prefecture, is visited by Kochi Prefecture residents who love bonito. Pole-and-line fishing for bonito has been a tradition of over 400 years in this area. The bonito fish caught one by one have firm flesh, and the quality and freshness of the flesh is completely different. At our restaurant, we serve Tosakure bonito in the “Yakikiri” style, which is grilled using straw after receiving an order. We cut it into pieces while it’s still hot, so you can enjoy the fragrant aroma of straw.
