It has come to my attention that the fish I called an Iwana... isn't.
Daniel at www.TenkaraUSA.com tells me it's an Ayu.
"Ayu, are indeed "sweet fish", they are known to have a sweet flavor, due to the fact that they are vegeterian fish, and highly prized as food".
I know that last part is a fact.
Iwana (also a charr and close relative of the brookie).
They are very good, I mean nice fish.
This is a plastic replica display.
This little road side stand was in the Japan Alps.
They taste just as good as they smell.
So sweet... really good eats.
Inside dining.
