The result? Impossibly buttery black cod with a gorgeous caramelized crust that practically melts on your tongue.
Don’t let the 48-hour timeline intimidate you – the actual hands-on cooking time is just 10 minutes of grilling. Plus, sake kasu (fermented sake lees) is easier to find than you think, and it keeps for months in your fridge for future culinary adventures.
