Akamutsu, widely known as Nodoguro (meaning 'black throat'), is one of Japan's most luxurious white-fleshed fish. Found in the deep waters off Nagasaki and the Sea of Japan, this fish is celebrated for its exceptionally high fat content — unusual for a white fish — which gives it a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Nodoguro gained international fame when tennis champion Nishikori Kei named it his favorite food after winning the 2014 US Open. Since then, demand has surged both domestically and internationally, making it one of Japan's most sought-after premium species.
Advance Intertrade sources Nodoguro directly from Nagasaki's fishing ports, ensuring peak freshness for air-freight export worldwide.
Served raw to appreciate its delicate sweetness and buttery fat — a top-tier sushi neta.
The most popular preparation — grilled with salt to crisp the skin while the rich fat bastes the flesh.
Gently simmered in soy-based broth, a classic Japanese preparation that highlights the tender texture.
