An Annual Tradition on August 21st: Spiny Lobster Season Opens in Amakusa, Kumamoto!

 

As mid-August passes, the breeze over Hakata carries a touch of late summer, mingled with anticipation for the coming autumn.

This season brings a special day that we, as Japanese cuisine artisans, look forward to every year with excitement.

That day is August 21st: the opening day of spiny lobster fishing in Amakusa, Kumamoto.

 

 

Nurtured in the rich waters of Amakusa, these spiny lobsters feature an extraordinary sweetness in their firm meat, a delightful texture, and a rich, savory miso delicacy.

Savoring these first-catch lobsters available only right after the season opens is a luxury truly unique to this moment.

 

Furthermore, summer brings a bounty of exceptional seafood from Kyushu's seas—from plump, rich-flavored "rock oysters" and luscious "summer sea bass" or "chicken grunt" (isaki), to delicate, sweet "abalone."

 

However, no matter how magnificent the fresh catch may be, simply slicing it does not unleash the true potential of the ingredients.

 

At Maizuru Kitchen, to naturally draw out the inherent flavors of life nurtured by the ocean, we hold an uncompromising commitment to 100% additive-free preparations and traditional craftsmanship.

 

• Using traditionally crafted "naturally brewed soy sauce" and "pure rice vinegar" that enhance the clear, natural sweetness of the ingredients

• Applying "meticulous prep work" and precise "heat control" by assessing the fat content and moisture of each individual fish to maximize its taste

 

 

Adding nothing unnecessary, and allowing the ingredient's full potential to bloom through the artisan's touch.

That is the true essence of Japanese cuisine that we preserve.

With every bite, the vivid imagery of the rich seas of Amakusa and the Genkai Sea softly unfolds, along with the passion of the local fishermen and producers who deliver them.

We warmly invite you to open the doors of Maizuru Kitchen and enjoy these seasonal blessings, starting with the limited-time Amakusa spiny lobster.

We look forward to quietly offering you a serene moment of ultimate satisfaction for both mind and body.

We truly look forward to your reservation and visit.
