Ashikaga Shumai
With just one bite, you experience a soft, chewy texture. The sweetness of the onion spreads juicily, creating an incomparable elasticity that lingers in your mouth. When drizzled with plenty of Chuno sauce (thick Worcestershire-style sauce), the savory aroma and sweetness layer together, making it impossible to stop eating. Ashikaga Shumai is a local specialty featuring onion and potato starch as the main ingredients. Because finely minced onions are kneaded with potato starch and then steamed, a uniquely chewy texture is created. It is so common here that local supermarkets distinguish the meat-filled version by calling it 'Niku (Meat) Shumai.' Delicious whether steamed or fried, this is Ashikaga's simple and beloved soul food coated in sauce.
