Black throat sea perch (Nodoguro) became a thing in Japan in 2014 when Nishikori Kei (tennis player) got 2nd place in the US Open and in the post match interview, he mentioned he had a hankering for Nodoguro. It may have been genuine, it might have been a way to use his fame to promote the local economy of his home prefecture of Shimane. Regardless that’s Nodoguro for you, and the slight context regarding why it had a moment in Japan. This show seems to like to touch base on cultural milestones.
I actually love comments like this so much. Thankyou so much for taking the time to explain this. This is fascinating. And I hate that so much cultural stuff like this just goes over my head and becomes missed. But you learn something new everyday !!!
