Yahatahma Chirimen Jako (Dried Baby Sardines)

A single pinch sprinkled over warm rice, scattered beautifully. As you bite into the shimmering small fish, the savory umami of the sea spreads gently through your mouth along with a subtle saltiness. It is plump and soft, yet offers a more substantial texture than regular shirasu (whitebait). This is the chirimen jako of the Uwa Sea. The Uwa Sea, stretching off the coast of Yahatahma, is one of Japan's most abundant fishing grounds, where warm and cold currents collide. Because we use freshly caught whitebait, we can create sun-dried chirimen that has been carefully dried under the sun. The aroma of the sea is captured directly within its plump flesh. Place it atop rice, mix it into rice balls, or add a pinch to rolled omelets. It quietly enriches your daily dining table with the blessings of the sea.
