This is an assortment of saikyo-zuke (fish marinated in saikyo miso) made from sablefish (gindara) from the United States, sold by 株式会社京都一の傳 of Ukyo Ward, Kyoto (the page says the country of origin of the ingredients may change depending on how the ingredients are handled). The “Kuramiso-zuke (蔵みそ漬), 5 Fillets [M-50]” covered in this article is 5 fillets of sablefish, about 90 g each, individually wrapped and delivered by chilled delivery. We organized what the Rakuten product page and reviews say into five points: amount, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and public reviews. The three features we could confirm on the product page are that it is marinated fish you grill, that best-before dates are stated for both chilled and frozen storage, and that each fillet is individually wrapped.
