Kanonji Iriko (Dried Baby Sardines)

Remove the head and innards, then soak in hot water overnight. Soon, a clear, golden broth begins to rise in the pot. With just one sip, the clean, savory umami of the fish gently permeates your body. Ibuki Island, located off the coast of Kanonji City, Kagawa Prefecture, is a famous production area for Iriko (dried anchovies). It is remarkable that the sardines caught in the nets are transported to the processing plant and boiled within just 30 minutes. Because they are processed while maintaining peak freshness, a clear broth free of any unpleasant aftertaste is created. This Ibuki Iriko has long been the backbone of the fragrant soup used in Sanuki udon. Not only for udon, but also for miso soup and simmered dishes. It is a vital supporting player that forms the foundation of the Kagawa dining table.
