Aki Shirasu Don (Whitebait Bowl)

The bowl is so heavily covered with pure white shirasu that you can barely see the freshly cooked rice underneath. This is the pride of Aki City's chirimen-don. Facing the Pacific Ocean, Aki City is known for its eggplants, the birthplace of Yataro Iwasaki, and as a training camp for the Hanshin Tigers, but in recent years, it has also been gaining a reputation as a town of shirasu. The morning-caught whitebait is processed into boiled shirasu at a processing plant on the same day and then prepared directly into bowls at the adjacent dining hall. This process is precisely why you can enjoy such a fluffy, soft texture and the fragrant scent of the sea. Our two-color bowl, which allows you to compare the taste of boiled and raw shirasu (dorome), is also popular. Please enjoy this luxurious bowl unique to Aki, where you can experience the full freshness of the Pacific Ocean in every bite.
