Experience the Seasonal Flavor of Fresh Chiayu

Young ayu, known as “chiayu” in Japanese, are young fish caught from spring to early summer. They are characterized by their delicate and mild flavor. As they are still in their growth stage, their flesh is tender and their bones are fine and easy to eat, making them suitable for various dishes.

At TAKEDA, we serve freshly caught chiayu from Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture as tempura. Ayu are fish that can only thrive in clean waters, and the pristine environment of Lake Biwa ensures the highest quality. Our chiayu tempura is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, offering a delightful texture. By using fresh chiayu, you can fully enjoy the natural flavor of the fish, and tempura enhances its deliciousness even further.

Chiayu tempura is a dish that allows you to savor the taste of the season. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the seasonal flavors.
