Sanma Sushi ( Kihoku)
Sanma sushi is a traditional local flavor passed down since ancient times in Higashikiu. In Kihoku Town, it has been carefully preserved in both homes and restaurants. Fresh Pacific saury (sanma) caught in the Kumano Sea is filleted, cured with salt, and then marinated in vinegar infused with seasonal citrus. By using the acidity of fruits like mandarin oranges to cure the fish, a subtle, refreshing aroma is created that eliminates the characteristic fishy scent of sanma. Recipes vary from household to household and shop to shop, offering a diverse range of tastes. Please come and experience this unique taste of Higashikiu, where the citrus aroma and the umami of the sanma melt together. It remains delicious even when cold, making it perfect for lunch boxes or souvenirs. We invite you to enjoy this refreshing, citrus-scented sushi in Higashikiu.
