Introducing Eelpouts - An Interesting Delicacy in Kanazawa, Ishikawa "Eelpouts: The rare fish loved in Kanazawa| nippon.com," is a 4K video uploaded by "nippon.com." Have you heard of eelpouts before? There probably aren't many people who've heard of this strange fish, but it's actually a specialty of Kanazawa that's attracting attention as an ingredient for beauty supplements. This video will show you how to prepare some delicious eelpouts! The Unsightly Eelpout - A Look at the Strange Fish Photo:Eelpouts Eelpout is written "幻魚" (roughly "Illusion Fish") in Japanese Kanji. This deep-sea fish is a type of sea-bass (belonging to a genus of Zoarcidae) and there are more than 230 types of eelpouts around the world. The reason why it's called "illusion fish" in Japan is likely because of its wiggly, slimy and grotesque body, and it was never eaten or studied. It has been found that it prefers the cold water of the northern hemisphere and usually lies on the seafloor, eating shells, sea urchins, and starfish that are in the sand. It swims very slow and its proper name is "ノロゲンゲ" (norogenge) in Japanese. The best time to catch it in the Hokuriku region is from September to May. How to Prepare Eelpouts Source :YouTube screenshot The most distinctive feature of the eelpout is its long, thin body, slimy surface, and soft texture. This is because it's rich in fine gelatin and collagen. It has quit a plain taste, so it can be used in any kind of cooking, and it is very popular in Kanazawa and Toyama. As you can see from 0:41 in the video, they cost around 400 yen per four fish, which is cheap during the harvest seasons, so it's often eaten as a main dish in Japan's Hokuriku region. Fried, dried, and tempura are also popular ways to prepare it, and these can be seen from 1:17 in the video. The slimy surface disappears when deep-fried giving it a nice and soft texture. Because of its simple taste, it's used as the main ingredients in miso soup and hot pot on a regular basis. Summary of Eelpouts, a Kanagawa Specialty Photo:Miso soup with bamboo shoots Eelpouts are also called "gengyo," "dogi," "mizuuo," and "sugayo" in Japanese. Although grotesque at first glance, it's gaining attention as a main ingredient in beauty supplements due to its high moisture content and moisturizing properties. Eelpout hot pot and eelpout soup are foods that women should pay attention to if they're focusing on beauty because it warms the body from the core and makes the skin look youthful. Be sure to try them when you visit Kanazawa, Ishikawa. -

Traditional Crafts History- 207 plays
- YouTube
Introducing Kutani Ware! This article introduces Kutani ware alongside the video "Traditional Japanese Crafts・Kutani Ware Glazing" (日本の伝統工芸品・九谷焼の染め付け). Kutani ware started around the Edo Period (1603-1868) in Kanazawa city, Ishikawa in Japan's Hokuriku region. It was originally called Kokutani ware. Today, Komatsu-city, Kaga-city, and Noumi-city are famous for the production of Kutani ware. The piece in the video is by Kamide Chouzaemon, one of Japan's leading Kutani pottery makers. The video is only about a minute long, but it shows the amazing dyeing technique used to make the beautiful, traditional Japanese pottery. How Kutani Ware Is Made Source :YouTube screenshot The signature liquid cobalt oxide is used to dye Kutani ware, which gives us a feel for Japanese culture. Kutani ware is produced by using a thin brush to draw precise patterns which requires the skills of a master craftsman. Patterns are drawn on the Kutani ware, using the brown cobalt oxide as a base material, after which they are fired in a kiln. From there, the color of the brown cobalt oxide changes into a beautiful shade of blue. This method of painting Kutani ware using blue, green, yellow, purple, and red within its patterns is called Kutani Gosai. Where to Purchase the Kutani Ware Kutani ware, made by famous craftsmen and artists, is considered an art, and can be rather expensive. However, there is some Kutani ware sold at reasonable prices. Kutani ware can be viewed and purchased at museums and porcelain/ceramics markets in Kanazawa. They have Kutani ware bowls, small plates, teacups, china bowls, tea pots, vases, and more. You can buy different pieces and incorporate them into your daily life. Their products are also available on the internet through retailers such as Amazon and Rakuten. Enjoying a Kutani ware demo at a workshop also makes for a memorable experience. By adding Kutani ware to your table, you can appreciate Japanese traditional culture more deeply. Summary of Japan's Traditional Kutani Ware Source :YouTube screenshot As you can see in the video, each piece of Kutani ware is hand dyed by a craftsman. The dyeing process of Kutani ware has been handed down for hundreds of years. Be sure to watch the video to see the amazing craftsmanship of Kutani ware craftsmen. -

Pufferfish Nukazuke - A Luxury Food That Takes More Than Two Years to Ferment! This Popular Specialty of Ishikawa Prefecture Makes a Great Side Dish!

Introducing Pufferfish Nukazuke This video, titled "Pufferfish “Nukazuke”: Delicacy from a Deadly Fish | Nippon.com: Japan in Video," was released by "Nippon.com: Japan in Video." Pufferfish contains a highly lethal dose of a poison called "tetrodotoxin" in its ovaries and liver. However, in Hakusan, Ishikawa and the Kanaishi District and Ono District of Kanazawa, there is a delicacy called "Fugu Nukazuke" (Pufferfish Nukazuke) which is eaten by fermenting the dangerous blowfish ovary for more than 2 years. It is only in this area of Ishikawa prefecture in Japan that the ovary of the pufferfish, which is prohibited by the Food Sanitation Law, is used as food. The ingredient used is Takifugu stictonotus ("Goma Fugu" in Japanese), which has particularly large ovaries and is good for eating. This can be seen from 0:09 in the video. The ovaries of Goma Fugu contain tetrodotoxin. But how do we get rid of this poison? The secret lies in the processing of the Pufferfish Nukazuke. Be sure to follow along with the video as you read this article! How the Delicacy, Pufferfish Nukazuke, Is Made Source :YouTube screenshot To pickle puffer fish, raw ovaries taken from the Goma Fugu are spread in a 1000 liter container and soaked in salt water with a concentration of 30%, for 1-1.5 years. The sodium contained in the salt has a dehydrating effect, and the water inside the ovaries becomes mostly depleted causing them to harden. From here, the ovaries are soaked in a fermented rice bran bed containing rice koji and chili peppers. At this time, they cover the ovaries with a wooden lid so that they do not come into contact with the air, and place a heavy stone on the lid. Then, in order to prevent oxidation, a kind of fish sauce stock called "Ishiru," made from sardines, is poured into the edge of the barrel. The tissue samples of the ovaries that have been soaked in fermented rice bran for six months to a year in this way are collected, and after the tetrodotoxin test results, they are shipped as commercial products if they are judged to have no effect on the human body. In the video, you can see the cook handling the Goma Fugu and removing the ovaries at 0:14. You can see how they're arranged and laid neatly in a huge container from 0:26 in the video. The finished Pufferfish Nukazuke, taken out of the fermented rice bran bed, is shown in the video from 1:11. Traditional Japanese Nukazuke Photo:Nukazuke Nukazuke is a traditional Japanese fermentation technique, but the scientific evidence for detoxifying lethal toxins such as tetrodotoxin has not been established. However, it is thought that tetrodotoxin may be broken down via the action of microorganisms and lactic acid bacteria that are born during the fermentation process. Since the time when medicine and science were still underdeveloped, the raw ovaries of the highly poisonous Goma Fugu were carefully fermented over a period of more than two years to transform them into harmless luxury foods. The depth of the history of some Japanese cultures is quite astonishing. Summary of Pufferfish Nukazuke Source :YouTube screenshot An amateur cannot make Pufferfish Nukazuke because a cooking qualification license is required to handle pufferfish. Pufferfish nukazuke is a very popular luxury food, and a specialty of Ishikawa prefecture, because the only manufacturer of Pufferfish Nukazuke is Ishikawa prefecture. Eaten as is, Pufferfish Nukazuke is delectable. br> It makes a great side dish with rice and sake, and it also can be used as a seasoning, so there are various Japanese foods you can use it with. Consider giving it a try! -

All the rooms face the Kakusen Gorge (鶴仙渓, Kakusenkei), so you can enjoy a beautiful view of the valleys and rivers from your window, while enjoying the traditional Japanese atmosphere of a high-class ryokan. ‘Comfort Suite’ rooms are equipped with western-style rooms, so that foreign visitors can relax while feeling the traditional Japanese ambiance. The ‘Comfort Suite’ rooms have half-open-air baths that use 100% natural spring water and a variety of amenities. The rooms are introduced at 0:40 in the video.

At the open-air observatory hot spring ‘Hirahira’ at Hanamurasaki, you can bathe while observing the beautiful Kakusen gorge. Having both a cypress bath as well as a rock bath, it is quite a luxurious space. Dining at Hanamurasaki Source :YouTube screenshot Hanamurasaki offers ‘A La Carte Kaiseki’ where you can enjoy Kaiseki (a type of appetizer), with the cuisine of your choice from a menu of about 50 different items. Each piece of tableware is also handmade, allowing you to enjoy the food with not just your mouth, but your eyes as well. We recommend trying out some of the seafood dishes. The impactful plate garnished with an entire snow crab is a sight to behold. For those of you who don't want to bother choosing your dishes one by one, a number of model courses, such as ‘Seasonal Kaiseki (旬懐石, Shun Kaiseki)’ and ‘Flower Kaiseki (華懐石, Hana Kaiseki)’, are available so you can enjoy Kaiseki Cuisine (懐石料理, Kaiseki Ryori) unlike that of any other ryokan. These meals are introduced from 0:52 in the video. The ryokan also has facilities such as ‘Stay Dining Nihon’ and ‘Bar Lounge.’ Sightseeing at Hanamurasaki!
