Biwako Hatchin (The Eight Delicacies of Lake Biwa)

Enjoy the small fish of the lake in bites of tsukudani (simmered in soy sauce), tempura, or sashimi. A delicate umami, almost unbelievable for freshwater fish, spreads throughout your mouth—this is Biwako Hatchin. Biwako Hatchin refers to a group of eight species of Lake Biwa fish: Biwa trout, Nigoro-buna, Honmoroko, Isaza, Koayu, Sujiebi, Hasu, and Gori. They were selected in 2013 based on a popularity poll of Lake Biwa fish dishes. Many of these are endemic species found only in Lake Biwa and have supported the local food culture since ancient times. Funazushi, simmered sweet ayu (small sweetfish), and Biwa trout sashimi—all are delicacies that can only be tasted in Lake Biwa. These eight flavors allow you to experience the full richness of the culinary heritage of the lakeside prefecture, Shiga.
