Enoshima Shirasu (Baby Anchovies)

Freshly cooked rice is topped with shimmering, translucent silver raw shirasu. With a single bite, a smooth texture gives way to a gentle sweetness and subtle bitterness from the sea—a quintessential taste of Shonan and Enoshima. For raw shirasu, freshness is everything. They spoil quickly, making them a delicacy that can only be enjoyed on the very day they are landed, a true luxury found only near fishing ports. When prepared as 'kamaage' (boiled in a pot), they take on a soft, gentle texture that pairs perfectly with warm rice. The pride of Shonan shirasu is the incredible speed from the Sagami Bay fishing grounds right to your plate. Raw, boiled, or in a bowl—this is an essential dish you cannot miss when visiting Enoshima.
