Tsukitsubo, where you can enjoy sweetfish all year round, the latest menu information to enjoy the flavors of OdaiTown
掲載日:2024.01.24
The season for sweetfish, a specialty of the Okuise area, is in summer, but in Odai-cho, Taki-OdaiTown, Mie Prefecture, there is a restaurant called Tsukitsubo where you can enjoy sweetfish all year round.
In this topic, Mie Travel Ambassador Caster Mami, who is a regular customer of Tsukitsubo, thoroughly introduces the charms of Tsukitsubo, such as fatty sweetfish, various set meals, and the latest menus that use special products from OdaiTown Let's go!
*Information as of January 2024.
Ayu dishes
The reason you can enjoy ayu dishes even outside of the seasonal season is because Tsukitsubo's parent company, Omori Suisan, farms ayu.
Omori Suisan's sweetfish, which are raised from young in the mountain water that flows into the Miyagawa River, the clearest stream in Japan, and allowed to swim in an environment close to nature, are highly nutritious and fatty.
At Tsukitsubo, the young sweetfish menu is popular from early summer to summer, and when the season ends, the rare ``sweetfish with roe'' appears.
Both offer a salt-grilled set meal, a ``various set meal'' that comes with salt-grilled, fried, or kanroni, and a variety set meal that comes with ``sweetfish heshiko ochazuke.''

Sweetfish with roe
The ``romochi ayu,'' a plump fish with an egg in its belly, appears on menus once the young ayu season ends.
The reason you can eat ayu in autumn, winter, and spring is because we also serve ayu with young children.
・Salt-grilled sweetfish with roe set meal ¥1,600
・Various sweetfish with roe set meal (sweetfish with roe grilled with salt, fried, and sweetened with sweet potatoes) ¥2,100
column
sweetfish heshiko
Inspired by Fukui Prefecture's local dish ``Mackerel Heshiko,'' the sweetfish is grated into three pieces, pickled in salt for several months, and then left to rest in rice bran for several years.
The rare ``sweetfish heshiko'' ochazuke is a flavorful dish that once you try it, you'll want to eat it again.
Order a single item or a set meal with heshiko.
You might be thinking, ``Is it addictive?'' But that's not the case; it's an exquisite dish that is packed with the delicious flavor of ayu, and is one of the dishes I would most recommend.
・Various sweetfish with roe set meal・Comes with heshiko ¥2,600
・Heshiko Ochazuke ¥770
Standard menu
In addition to sweetfish dishes, there are many standard menus from Japanese to Western cuisine where you can enjoy the taste of home cooking.
You can also look forward to the seasonal side dishes and desserts made with locally grown vegetables that come with every set meal.
For those like me who want to eat a lot, the Tsukitsubo Set Meal pictured is a good value.
Choose either egg-fried rice with homemade yuzu pepper or curry doria (chicken curry or green curry), and it comes with fried food, 3 small side dishes, salad, pickles, and dessert to fill you up!

New product “Yuzu Bonara”
Tsukitsubo wants to spread the deliciousness of OdaiTown 's specialty ``Okuise Yuzu''.
The menu makes extensive use of yuzu grown in OdaiTown.
“Yuzu Bonara”, which appeared in November 2023, is a carbonara-style noodle dish where yuzu is the main character.
Instead of pasta, it's warm udon noodles with a spicy homemade yuzu pepper and fresh cream sauce. A new menu with bacon and bonito flakes, a perfect combination of Japanese and Western cuisine.
Even for me, a spicy fan who always adds Tabasco to my pasta, Yuzu Bonara has enough spiciness! I can't stop using chopsticks anymore.
Yuzu juice arrived and I was told, ``Please have some yuzu too.'' It's fun to change the taste with the sourness and aroma of yuzu ♪
The set comes with fluffy bread from Kanaeta, a popular bakery in OdaiTown, so it's best to eat it with the leftover sauce at the end!
・Yuzu Bonara ¥880
