I tried FamilyMart's "Braised Karei". You can enjoy the white meat that melts in your mouth. It has 105kcal, 14.8g (0.28oz) protein, 0.9g (0.32oz) fat, 9.2g (0.07oz) sugar, 0.1g (0.04oz) dietary fiber, 1.6g (0.21oz) salt equivalent, and is priced at 358 yen (tax included).

FamilyMart Boiled Fresh Fried Fish

This dish is made by simmering Danish Greenland smelt in a sauce made of boiled mirin and two kinds of soy sauce. Ginger, bonito broth, blackstrap molasses, and kombu (kelp) are used to create a deep flavor.

The package contains one fillet, just the right size for one person. Heat the fillet in a 500W household microwave oven for 50 seconds, and gently transfer the soft flesh to a bowl so as not to break it up, and it is ready to eat. A slightly deeper dish is recommended as there is plenty of broth.


The karei is well cooked and easily detached from the bone when you put your chopsticks into the karei. Although it has small bones like fine threads, they hardly hit your mouth and fall off easily on your tongue. The sweetness and umami of the sauce that seeps out of the fish is soaked up and enjoyed for a while, and then it seems to disappear. The light flavor of the white fish lingers in the mouth.


I have the impression that this dish can be enjoyed not only with white rice, but also with dry sake. This dish is suitable for those days when you want to indulge in a little luxury.
