In the Seto Inland Sea area, the sea bream is called "sakura-tai" (cherry blossom sea bream) because it shines in cherry blossom color during the cherry blossom season. This is the time of year when "hourakuyaki," a local dish made from this springtime cherry sea bream, is delicious.
It takes about 30 minutes to bake, so advance reservations are recommended. The price is 5,250 yen for 4 servings.
*Houraku ware is no longer offered as of August 2020.
