Gomasaba (Mackerel with Sesame)
Plenty of ground sesame seeds are sprinkled over glossy, fresh mackerel sashimi. The thick, sweet and savory sauce and fragrant sesame seeds greatly enhance the umami of the mackerel. One bite will make both your drinks and your chopsticks stop moving. Gomasaba is a local dish of Fukuoka/Hakata, where fresh mackerel caught on the same day is marinated in a soy-based sauce and served with sesame, green onions, and wasabi. It is believed that this way of eating became widespread between the late Edo and early Meauji periods when soy sauce became more easily available. Freshness is everything. That is why it is worth tasting in Fukuoka, the mackerel production area. If you serve it as a bowl over hot rice, it is a dish you can eat for bowls upon bowls.
