Now is best season for Cherry Salmon and firefly squid !
Salmons that caught this season is called “Cherry salmon”, associated with cherry blossoms that is a symbol of this season.
I couldn’t eat cherry salmon last year because I was so busy…… but this year !
I could eat grilled salted cherry salmon set (サクラマスの塩焼き定食, 1500 yen) at Kato in Tsukiji Market in the early morning 😀
去年は忙しくて気付いたら夏になっててサクラマスも終わってたけど、今年は！！！
ありました！皮目がこんがり！！！
Perhaps you can eat it in this month. Soon !
Really good 😀
Also, I tasted Japanese armorhead saikyoyaki set (つぼ鯛の西京焼き定食, 1500 yen) and it was tasty, too.
The fish was so fat.
ちょこっと分けてもらったつぼ鯛の西京焼き。おいしかったしでかかったヽ(´ー｀)ノ
It didn’t have strong taste of miso, so I wasn’t worried about much salt while eating.
And firefly squid nuta(ほたるいかのぬた, 700 yen) was good too
*Nuta means “with vinegared miso”. Firefly squid is also Spring seafood !
ほたるいかのぬたもありました。プリプリでおいしかったですヽ(´ー｀)ノ
Now, I remember. there is cherry anthias in this season, too. I’ll write about the fish later.
Anglerfish that I ate last time at Kato was delicious, too 🙂

There are too many foreign tourists in Tsukiji Market because of the weak yen.
Even weekday’s early morning.
But I heard that there were fewer people the other cold day.
I was surprised at the weather, too. I wore winter coat from baggage for bringing dry cleaners.
