Experience Katsuo Warayaki (Smoked Bonito) and Fisherman's Lunch
Try
Katsuo Warayaki hands-on at Makurazaki - Home of the Katsuo＼(^o^)／
At the
Makurazaki Wharf (next to Makurazaki Fish Centre), ocean-fresh Katsuo (Bonito)
are skillfully cut up and heartily roasted over a strong fire to make Tataki (a
Japanese way of preparing smoked Katsuo where only the outer surface is roasted
while the inner portions remain raw).
Roasting the Katsuo over fire made by
burning highly flammable straw, the external surface of the fish is quickly
cooked while the inner portions remain raw. Furthermore, the flavour of smoked
straw is sealed in the flesh of the Katsuo, giving the end product a tangy
barbeque flavour.
Experience this only at Makurazaki - Home
of the Katsuo!
Have fun roasting your very own
Katsuo-tataki, savour the flavours of the seasonal harvests and enjoy the view

Upon arrival, you can view the dissection
of a fresh Katsuo (for Warayaki Tataki) at the wholesaler's stall. For visitors

For visitors who wish to dissect the fish on their own, the staff will be
around to provide guidance and tips when necessary.
2. Roasting the fish over fire made by burning straｗ
Warayaki - Form a 10 member group and
decide who to start the fire using straw and who to handle the barbeque wire
netting with the Katsuo.
3. Immersing in ice water!
Tataki - After roasting the Katsuo over
straw flames, immerse it in ice water to seal the flavour. You may do this on
your own or request for the staff to do it for you.
