Tanabe no Hitohame Sushi

A piece of bar sushi topped with glossy cured mackerel is wrapped in a large seaweed leaf. With one bite, the crisp texture and oceanic aroma of the leaf, the sweet and sour flavor of the vinegared rice, and the richness of the mackerel fat all rush into your mouth at once. The seaweed used for wrapping is 'Hirome.' In Tanabe, this is called 'Hitohame.' This seaweed grows as large as a hand fan; it is softer than wakame yet maintains a pleasant crunch. It is a flavor that can only be harvested in very limited areas, including Tanabe Bay. The aroma of shiso mixed into the vinegared rice provides a refreshing finish. Please enjoy a piece of this pressed sushi, unique to Tanabe. It is packed with the bounties of the sea.
