Hamo no Yuuke (Keto Ponzu Sauce)
Blanched Pike Conger with Keto Ponzu Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: crucially request a sugar-free ponzu sauce. About 4g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A seasonal delicacy featuring thinly sliced pike conger eel (hamo) that is quickly blanched, then served chilled with a refreshing citrus-based ponzu sauce. The fish has a delicate texture and unique flavor.
Key ingredients
Pike conger eel (hamo), water, ice, keto ponzu sauce (soy sauce, lemon/lime juice, dashi, erythritol/monk fruit), thinly sliced green onion, momiji oroshi (grated daikon with chili, optional).
How to make it keto
Crucially request a sugar-free ponzu sauce. Traditional ponzu contains mirin and sugar. Ensure no sweet plum sauce (ume-su) is used.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
鱧の湯引きは、砂糖不使用のポン酢でお願いします。甘い梅酢は使わないでください。
For the Hamo no Yuuke, I need sugar-free ponzu sauce and absolutely no sweet plum sauce.
Watch out for
Traditional ponzu sauce (high sugar from mirin/sugar), any accompanying sweet sauces.
