Shiro ebi (white prawn) sembei
Masu no sushi (trout's sushi)
Both are specialties of Toyama.
先日、富山に行った甥からお土産を二つもらいました。
白えびせんべい
鱒のすし
です。
両方とも富山の特産品です。
I didn't know anything about shiro ebi or shiro ebi sembei.
白えびと白えびせんべいのことは何も知りませんでした。
Crisp, and the fragrance of the prawn is wonderful!
パリッとしていて、エビの香りが素晴らしいです。
Masu no sushi is known throughout Japan.
鱒のすしは全国に知られています。
Needless to say, it tastes really good!
言うまでもなく、本当に美味しいです。
おいしそうですね！
ReplyDeleteDo you eat it with shoyu and wasabi?
okasan: My family had it with some soy sauce but without wasabi. Opinions vary: Some say that it should be eaten without soy sauce or wasabi, while others say otherwise. I would suggest having one piece without soy sauce or wasabi first and then having another with soy sauce (and wasabi) to enjoy the difference in flavor.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic packaging!
ReplyDeleteOkiHwn: Fantastic? I'd say elaborate! Some people may say excessive packaging (laugh)!!
ReplyDeleteI love the packaging! And the sushi too, of course. I wanted to keep the wooden container (do you call it hangiri?) but then it had a bit of fishy and vinegary smell and I don`t know if I could wash it with soap, so I heavy-heartedly threw it out.
ReplyDeleteArudhi: No, it's not called a hangiri. It can be simply called a wooden container (木の容器 ki no youki or 木の器 ki no utsuwa), or it can also be called a magewappa (曲げわっぱ) or simply wappa (わっぱ).
ReplyDeleteThe container is disposable, but I used mine for some time to keep small objects on the counter near the kitchen. It was too good to just throw away immediately!
As you may know, masu no sushi is a type of oshi (lit. pressed) zushi 押し寿司. Usually, I'm not a big fan of oshi zushi, but masu no sushi is an exception.
