Small Sardine Dishes
Take a bite of the translucent, silvery flesh with ginger soy sauce. A plump texture and a light, mellow sweetness spread across your palate. When fried, the batter becomes crispy while the inside remains fluffy and fragrant. 'Small sardines' refers to the Japanese anchovies caught in Hiroshima Bay. Because high-quality fishing grounds are nearby and they reach the market while perfectly fresh, a culture of enjoying them as sashimi has taken root. The local tradition involves carefully washing them multiple times in ice water until the water runs clear to remove any fishy odor. It is said that 'if you wash sardines seven times, they taste like sea bream,' as their firm texture is often compared to that of sea bream. Enjoy the raw umami in sashimi and the savory aroma in tempura. This is a soul food of the Hiroshima dining table, reaching its peak season in summer. Please come and taste a dish made with freshly caught ingredients.
