Japanese Black Scraper (Umazurahagi) – Firm Texture & Rich Liver
Umazurahagi, or the Black Scraper, is a highly regarded variety of Japanese Filefish. Larger and firmer than its cousin Kawahagi, it is a seasonal delicacy prized for its clean, white flesh and exceptionally creamy liver.
Flavor Profile & Texture:
  • Refined White Flesh: The meat is lean, translucent, and has a pleasant, chewy resilience that develops more flavor as you chew.
  • The "Foie Gras of the Sea": The most sought-after part is the "Kimo" (Liver). During the colder months, the liver grows large and rich, offering a buttery, savory depth that is considered a luxury in Japanese cuisine.
Culinary Highlights:
  • Sashimi with Kimo-joyu: The classic way to enjoy Umazurahagi. Slice the flesh thinly and serve it with a dipping sauce made by whisking the fresh liver into soy sauce.
  • Hot Pot (Chiri-nabe): The firm flesh holds its shape perfectly in soups, absorbing the broth while staying tender.
  • Grilled or Simmered: Excellent when simmered with ginger and soy sauce (Nitsuke) or lightly salted and grilled.
Product Details:
  • Origin: Japan
  • Season: Peak flavor from late autumn to winter.
  • Preparation: [Whole (Skin-off) / Filleted / With Liver]
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated or flash-frozen for premium quality.
