Sanma no Po-po Yaki (Grilled Saury Patties)
When you take a bite of it freshly grilled, the savory umami of the saury bursts in your mouth. Infused with miso, green onions, and ginger, it is fragrant and fluffy. The typical fishy odor of blue-backed fish completely disappears, leaving a flavor that pairs perfectly with both rice and sake. Sanma no Po-po Yaki is a soul food of Iwaki, made by mixing fresh minced saury with miso, green onions, ginger, and other seasonings, then shaping and grilling them into patties. It is said to have originated as a dish prepared by fishermen on board ships, pounding freshly caught saury on the spot. Because of this, the high level of freshness directly transforms the ingredients into a feast. With a golden-brown exterior and a soft, juicy interior, it is an autumn specialty that allows you to savor the full richness of fatty saury. It is a dish you'll want to devour while it's still warm.
