Grilled Mackerel Sushi (Yaki Saba Sushi)
Packed densely atop vinegared rice is fatty, grilled mackerel. A single piece of this pressed sushi—featuring crispy grilled skin and tender flesh—is a feast that leaves you feeling satisfied. While Kyoto-style mackerel sushi uses raw cured mackerel, the major difference here is the use of grilled mackerel. It was born from the culinary culture of 'Hamayaki Saba' (beach-grilled mackerel), which remains delicious even when cold. Surprisingly modern, it is said to have been devised in the year 2000 as an attempt to create a specialty for Mikuni. This history is rooted in Wakasa's role as an 'Oshikoku' (a province providing food to the Imperial Court) and the 'Saba Kaido' (Mackerel Highway) used to transport mackerel to Kyoto. This popular single-piece sushi can also be found at Fukui Station. Please enjoy the perfect balance of sweet fat and vinegared rice.
