Satsuma
Grilled fish is processed into a paste, combined with barley miso, and grilled to a fragrant finish, then diluted with dashi made from fish bones. This mixture is then poured generously over steaming hot barley rice. The aromatic scent of the grilled miso and the plump umami of the fish make the often-dry barley rice easy to eat. 'Satsuma' is a home-cooked dish passed down throughout the Nanyo region, including Uwajima. It is said to have originated from fishermen eating thick miso soup containing fish over barley rice while on board their ships. There are various theories regarding the origin of its name; some suggest it was brought from Satsuma Province, while others say it comes from 'Sa-tsuma' (meaning a husband helping his wife), but none are certain. It is also delicious when served cold, making it a dish you especially crave during the hot summer months.
