The “Original Sakura Yakisaba Sushi” was created with the desire to spread the culture of “grilled mackerel” and to bring joy to many people with a product that utilizes the unique characteristics of the region. This dish combines the local cuisine of Unnan City, Shimane Prefecture, “grilled mackerel bara sushi,” with the “sakura” beloved both inside and outside the city. By pressing the bara sushi and wrapping it in sakura leaves, it is crafted into an easy-to-eat and beautiful form. When you take a bite, the elegant aroma of sakura leaves spreads, harmonizing with the rich umami of the grilled mackerel and the sweet and sour vinegared rice. Additionally, ingredients such as egg, carrot, shiitake mushroom, kamaboko, sesame, and nori create an exquisite taste. Unnan City is known as the “Town of Sakura,” where about 10,000 sakura trees bloom, and it has been selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Sakura Spots. In the past, Unnan City was considered the “limit of the region where fresh fish from the Sea of Japan could be transported by human foot,” and a culture of grilling fish to enhance preservation was born to deliver fish further into the mountains. Particularly cherished were grilled mackerel skewers and grilled mackerel bara sushi made by flaking the mackerel meat. At our store, we lavishly use juicy grilled mackerel and rice from Nita, known for its strong sweetness and good grain quality, to match the umami of the mackerel. We also paid special attention to the blend of sushi vinegar to harmonize the umami of the mackerel, the sweetness of the rice, and the ingredients. We hope this product will serve as an opportunity for a nostalgic yet new encounter, evoking thoughts of the scenery and culture of Unnan City.
