We then age it in-house, carefully judging its condition along the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aging draws out umami compounds such as glutamic acid while preserving the fine fat and springy texture that shima-aji is known for, resulting in a deeper flavor with a longer finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fish&#8217;s natural potential. The artisan&#8217;s technique. And aging at the sushi counter. Only when all three come together is a single piece complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to taste what aged shima-aji means to Oku-Akasaka Sushi Tanji.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">(From the owner&#8217;s Google Business Profile post)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our shima-aji (striped jack) comes from Izumi in Kagoshima Prefecture.
