Points for the recipe:
It's a spring-like dish using cherry sea bream and cherry leaves for this recipe. We also recommend a Western-style arrangement by replacing the sake soaked in washi (replace with paper towels) with white wine, wrapping with herbs, and baking.
Cherry sea bream is a seasonal tradition of spring in Japan.
The name of cherry sea bream is called that because it can be caught when the cherry blossoms are in bloom for the spawning season in summer and has a color of beautiful cherry blossoms. "Sakura-dai" written in katakana is another fish for reference.
