This is ei hire – grilled stingray fin, a classic Japanese bar snack.Lightly grilled until it’s crispy on the edges and tender inside.The flavor is smoky, savory, and just a little sweet — once you start, it’s hard to stop!It pairs perfectly with a glass of cold sake.A must-try if you're into traditional Japanese izakaya snacks!

Huh I’ve never seen that one while there. Maybe it is less common up in Aomori.
looks interestingly unique
Listen. I LOVE stingrays. Favorite aquatic animal. But when we saw this on an izakaya menu in Taito City, we had to try it. An absolute stand-out in flavor and experience. Highly recommend this. And Kewpie on the side doesn’t hurt, also.
