Buri(鰤)/Yellowtail
"Buri(鰤)/Yellowtail" is one of representative winter foods in Japan.
Buri is written ぶり in hiragana, ブリ in katakana, 鰤 in kanji.
Although 鰤 is one character, it can be decomposed into two characters, 魚 and 師.
As you may know, each kanji has its meaning.
魚 means a fish. Buri is absolutely a fish.That's why the kanji of Buri has 魚.
How about 師?
師 have some meanings.
One of the meanings is a honorific title for a Buddhist monk.
It is said that Buddhist monks are generally busy in the end of year.
Buddhist monks run here, there and everywhere in December.
The truth is not clear.
It is said that the number of death grows towards the end of the year.
It is said that Buddhist monks do a year-end cleaning at their temples.
The kanji which means run is 走.
師走 means December.
Actually, Buri gets its season from December to February.
The word 鰤 implies the season of Buri.
Sorry for a boring lecture.
The only thing that is good to know is that these three words "ぶり", "ブリ", "鰤" represent a yellowtail.
It will be helpful, as you dine out in Japan.
Buri caught off the shore of Toyama-Bay(富山湾), Sado(佐渡), Noto(能登) has high quality. We especially call it Kan-Buri(寒ぶり).
A thick fillet, 100g of Buri sell for around 150 yen to 200 yen.
The most popular recipe with Buri is "Buri Daikon" which means that
some fillet buri and round-cut radishes are simmered together with soy sauce, sugar, sake and ginger broth.
Here are some restaurants where I've been to.

☆Marukami Suisan[Hachiōji Minamino](まるかみ水産[八王子みなみ野店]) |
Feature
At first, a staff ask you whether you smoke or not. I don't smoke, but I'd like to see a view of city. Fortunately, nobody was there, so I took a smoker's seat. The inside looks like a street stall. The chair doesn't have a back. There is an Ozashiki(お座敷) room where you must take off your shoes. This restaurant serves set menus and Donburi(丼)/Bowl menus. All Donburi is fish. However, half portion of set menus are meat, crispy baked foods: for example, grilled pork flavored with ginger, frittered chicken flavored with tartar sauce, crispy baked shrimp and crispy baked oyster . It's little dark to read. Marukami Susisan is a restaurant chain. The parent company's home pages are not well-managed. It's difficult to look for where Marukami Suisan restaurants are. My Opinion Although set menus are almost 1,000 yen, considering set menus come with Nattō and a dessert, I can say it's affordable. Plus, you can have bowls of rice as much as you can. As longs as I skim through others' blogs, they complain about services: for example, ushered table is wet, a size of plates is not for groups, shredded cabbages smell fishy, and nobody is there when checking out, and so on. Umm..., the last one sounds very Japanese. If not in Japan, everybody will eat and run. Of course, there is a good opinion. A blogger says that the inside paths are designed for wheelchairs and strollers. My opinion? Food and price are well that ends well. It's still worth revisiting!! |
