14-Day Dry-Aged Kanpachi showcases the true potential of precision-aged fish. Known as Greater Amberjack, Kanpachi is prized for its naturally firm texture, balanced fat content, and mild sweetness — qualities that make it an ideal candidate for dry-aging when handled by experts.

Our store is one of only five places in the United States that specialize in dry-aging fish, operating under meticulously controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow conditions. Over the course of 14 days, moisture is gently reduced while enzymes naturally enhance tenderness and deepen umami, resulting in a Kanpachi that is more expressive, structured, and complex than its fresh counterpart.
