OCALS READY OLD-SCHOOL SUSHI FOR WINTER FEASTING“鯖の熟れ鮨し” 仕込み始まる

2020年12月02日 | 爺英語


Local people have begun seasonal production of a traditional Japanese delicacy in western Japan's Fukui Prefecture.
Narezushi gave rise to the modern sushi known and loved around the world.
Fermented fish is stuffed with rice mixed with ginger, vinegar, and koji mold to make the dish.
Narezushi is not refrigerated and was once an important way to ensure that fish could be eaten long after it was caught.
A group of eight people gathered on Sunday to prepare narezushi for the year-end period.
They plan to prepare 1,800 servings of the dish, which will feature in many people's traditional New Year's repast.
(Kobayashi Nobuo / Group leader)
"The flavor will begin to reach perfection after the temperature drops in two or three days. We're determined to make tasty narezushi."
The group expects strong demand this year, as people are spending more time at home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
