The "Foie Gras of the Sea": Ankimo with Narazuke at Sushi Yorokobu BKK

  • Feb 3
  • 4 min read

In the world of Omakase in Bangkok, few ingredients evoke as much decadence as Ankimo (Monkfish Liver). Often referred to as the "Foie Gras of the Sea," this delicacy is prized for its velvety texture and rich, creamy flavor.


However, at Sushi Yorokobu BKK, we take this classic to another level by pairing it with a traditional Japanese treasure: Narazuke.


Why Ankimo Can Be Challenging (And How We Perfect It)

A common pain point for diners exploring Japanese dining in Bangkok Thonglor is encountering Ankimo that feels too heavy or has a lingering "fishy" aftertaste. This usually happens when the cleaning process is rushed or the flavor balance is missing.


At Sushi Yorokobu BKK, our Ankimo undergoes a rigorous preparation:

  1. Meticulous Cleaning: Every vein is removed by hand to ensure a clean, pure taste.

  2. Sake Steaming: We steam the liver at low temperatures to lock in the silky, buttery fats.

  3. The Secret Topping: We top our Ankimo with Narazuke (Nara-style pickled watermelon radish).


The Art of Narazuke: The Perfect Counterpoint

Narazuke is a traditional pickle from Nara, fermented in sake lees for up to several years. Its deep, umami-rich sweetness and characteristic "crunch" provide the perfect textural contrast to the melt-in-your-mouth Ankimo.


The fermentation notes of the Narazuke cut through the richness of the monkfish liver, creating a balanced bite that is neither too oily nor too sharp. It is this attention to detail that makes our Bangkok Omakase dining experience truly unique.
