NOT ALL HAMACHI ARE CREATED EQUAL. Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi is naturally grown, and freeze-processed through a revolutionary system that enables the fish to maintain its “just caught” freshness until they’re defrosted for use. Compare that to the majority of fresh-flown Hamachi from Japan to the West Coast, taking an average 36 hours to arrive at a restaurant in Los Angeles. They will take even longer to inland destinations.
