Characteristics:

Spottedtail morwong (Takanohadai) is distributed from central Honshu southward to the warm waters of the East China Sea and Taiwan. It lives alone on coastal reefs and coral reefs. The body length is 30~45 cm. There are 9 blackish-brown oblique bands on the body side.

It is said to have a strong odor during the summer season and is not suitable for eating. However, this information does not apply to sushi chefs when they select fish for use.
