Hirogawa Town Shirasu (Whitebait)

Straight from the ports facing Yuasa Bay while still fresh—shirasu caught in the bountiful waters of the Kii Channel are also landed in Hirogawa Town. The adjacent Yuasa Bay is a nutrient-rich, productive fishing ground. Freshness is vital for newly landed shirasu; they become local specialties when prepared as plump kamaage (boiled) or slowly dried in the sun to concentrate their umami. It is a fresh seafood treasure blessed by the bounty of Yuasa Bay. Enjoy plump kamaage shirasu atop a bowl of rice, or pair slightly dried shirasu with grated daikon radish. It is also delicious simply drizzled with soy sauce. Though simple, it is a luxurious feast that allows you to taste the full bounty of the sea.
