Couldn't load pickup availability
The Red Cornetfish, known in Japan as "Aka-Yagara," is a highly prized luxury fish, instantly recognizable by its long, flute-like snout. Despite its unusual appearance, it is revered by top-tier sushi chefs and fine-dining restaurants for its incredibly refined flavor and versatile culinary applications.
- Taste: Exceptionally clean, elegant sweetness with a rich, lingering umami that develops upon aging.
- Texture: Firm and translucent when fresh, becoming silky and tender when cooked.
- High Value: Often compared to premium white-fleshed fish like Sea Bream (Tai) or Flounder (Hirame), but with a unique depth of flavor.
- Sashimi: Enjoy the delicate sweetness and firm texture by slicing it thinly. It pairs beautifully with ponzu or a touch of high-quality sea salt.
- Wanmono (Clear Soup): In Japanese haute cuisine (Kaiseki), Yagara is the gold standard for clear soups. Its bones and head produce an incredible, clear dashi broth with deep complexity.
- Poached or Steamed: The flesh stays moist and flavorful, making it perfect for French or Italian-style poaching with herbs and white wine.
- Origin: Japan (Select Coastal Regions)
- Status: Fresh / Wild Caught
- Shipping: Carefully packed in ice and shipped via temperature-controlled air freight to maintain peak freshness.
- Note: The long head/snout is often included as it is essential for making premium soup stock.
Due to its rare and difficult-to-catch nature, the Red Cornetfish rarely hits the general market. We source our Yagara directly from Japanese fishing ports, ensuring that each fish is handled with the utmost care (Ikejime treated when possible) to preserve its delicate flesh and premium quality.
