How to eat monkfish
In Japan, there is a saying that &quot;Eastern monkfish, western pufferfish&quot;. The meat of monkfish is firm and elastic, just like lobster. Its delicious and elastic taste is better than ordinary fish meat. In addition to being low in fat and calories, monkfish meat is also rich in various trace elements such as vitamins A, D, and E. The collagen it contains is a tonic for modern women to maintain beauty and health.
Every time the season of harvesting monkfish comes, the inns in Shimofuro Onsen Village will provide the freshest monkfish dishes. In addition to the Kazamaura Anglerfish Hot Pot, which is the best match for hot springs in winter, there are also Kazamaura Anglerfish Sashimi, Anglerfish Liver, Anglerfish Jelly, Grilled Fish, Fried Fish and the above-mentioned Sashimi, which are the famous Anglerfish Full Course Six Dishes.

Anglerfish Festival
Every December to March of the following year, a grand &quot;Kazamaura Anglerfish Festival&quot; will be held here, where you can enjoy the live performance of disassembling the anglerfish. The anglerfish is huge and covered with a layer of slippery gelatin on the surface, which is difficult to handle on the chopping board, so the Japanese tradition generally uses &quot;hanging cut&quot; or &quot;snow cut&quot; to handle it.
