Choosing a meal in Kochi
Katsuo tataki is seared on the outside, not cooked all the way through like grilled fish. Check the preparation if you avoid raw-centred seafood. Imokenpi, sweet potato sticks, makes a separate sweet snack afterwards.
Tips for choosing a restaurant
Make a katsuo tataki stop while exploring Kochi city, and save imokenpi for a sweet snack later.
