The webmaster bought ankimo at a fish shop in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. It is one of the winter delicacies in Japan. It is seasoned with a ponzu sauce (citrus juice and soy sauce) and grated radish with red pepper. Ankimo tastes very creamy and rich. According to a famous gourmet comic, "Oishinbo", ankimo was said to be superior to foie gras. Please don't miss it at izakaya (taverns) featuring seafood or sushi-go-round restaurants in this season.
