Dried Fish from Owase
Facing the Kumano Sea, which carries the scent of the Kuroshio Current, Owase has long been known as a famous producer of dried fish. In the fishing ports embraced by the rias coastline, fresh fish are landed one after another. Freshly caught horse mackerel, barracuda, Pacific saury, and more are carefully dried using the sea breezes and sunlight of Owase. Some long-established shops have continued to produce handmade dried fish since the Meiji era; following the traditional teaching to 'do as little to the fish as possible,' they finish each piece in a way that maximizes the natural umami of the fish itself. As excess moisture is removed, the flavor becomes tightly concentrated. When lightly seared, the fat begins to melt beautifully. This is a gift from our seaside town that pairs perfectly with both rice and sake. Please enjoy the nutritious flavors nurtured by the seaside town of Owase to your heart's content, served freshly grilled alongside steaming hot rice.
