Ofunato Sanma Tsukudani (Simmered Pacific Saury)
Ofunato Sanma Tsukudani is a perfect accompaniment to rice, made by simmering the Pacific saury of Ofunato—which boasts the largest catch on Honshu—in a sweet and savory glaze. Ofunato City is a port town that lands the highest volume of Pacific saury on Honshu. In autumn, saury arrive in the Sanriku Sea at their fattiest state, having accumulated nutrients before spawning. By carefully simmering each fresh fish individually, the umami and sweet-savory seasoning penetrate deeply. Placed atop warm rice, its deliciousness will make you crave a second helping. It is also highly useful for bento boxes or as a snack with tea. This is a quintessential Sanriku product, popular for mail order, filled with the wisdom of ancestors who transformed the bounties of the rich sea into preserved food.
