Pure domestic golden flounder
The Miyazu Bridge, the only spandrel-braced arch in Kyushu, is designated as a cultural asset of Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture. The golden flounder farm is located near the Mimi River, which overlooks the Misuzu Bridge.
The water used is pure, germ-free seawater pumped up from 30 meters underground. The use of underground seawater creates an environment that is difficult for parasites and bacteria to penetrate, and allows for the growth of "safe and secure" flatfish without the use of antibiotics, hormones, vaccines, or other drugs.
In order to maintain an optimal environment for flatfish all year round, we use a land-based fish tank. The land-based aquaculture is one of the sustainable aquaculture methods, which is less susceptible to red tide and rising sea water temperatures, and allows us to constantly monitor the condition of the fish, thereby reducing the environmental impact.
The fry are purchased domestically, and the feed is also domestic. We raise our fry in a meticulous manner, adjusting their feeding according to their growth stage and climate.
The number of fish in each pond is kept thinly to minimize stress, resulting in healthy, sparkling, high quality golden flounder.
Hirame is a healthy food with high protein and low fat, but the more you chew it, the richer and sweeter it becomes in your mouth. The edges, in particular, are an excellent product that is rich in collagen and has a crispy texture.
