Hiji Chirimen (Dried Baby Sardines)

Enjoy plenty of fluffy, soft Kamaage chirimen on top of freshly cooked rice. The aroma of the sea and the perfect hint of saltiness spread through your mouth, making you want to eat bowl after bowl. It is a blessing from the sea nurtured by Beppu Bay. Hiji Town is a town along Beppu Bay, known as the 'Town of Castletown Flounder and Chirimen.' Shirasu (whitebait) grown in these plankton-rich waters are reputed for their firm texture and consistent size. Carefully boiled immediately after being caught, the hallmark of this chirimen is its light, airy texture. You can enjoy it as is, or pair it with grated daikon radish or rolled omelets. Rich in calcium and perfect for your daily dining table, it is a gentle flavor that Hiji Town is proud of.
