Saikyo Yaki is Kyoto-style miso-marinated grilled fish or meat. Sweet white miso (Saikyo miso) brings delicate sweetness and deep umami: lightly charred and fragrant outside, moist and tender inside. Fermentation seasons gently while keeping the texture plump—even with less salt. It’s simple to make at home with just a frying pan—no special tools needed. We use black cod here, but Spanish mackerel, salmon, sea bream, squid, chicken, or pork also work. Perfect with rice, sake, or even wine.
