【Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture】You can only eat it in Shimanto City! !! "Bonito Tataki" (Part 2)

Following Part 1, in Part 2, we will introduce the recommended way to eat "Bonito Tataki" that can only be tasted in Shimanto City.

〇 "Traditional salt Tataki Village that can only be eaten in the middle Village"
Kochi Prefecture's "delicious food" is famous nationwide, and the first thing that comes to mind is "Bonito Tataki". Sprinkling salt and sauce and "knocking" is said to be a food culture unique to Kochi Prefecture.　However, even though it is the same Kochi Prefecture, the way of eating "salt tataki" is very different in the central Kochi City and Shimanto City Naka Village located in the southwestern region.

Around Kochi City, it is as simple as sprinkling salt, but in Naka Village, it is mainly Tataki with salt, vinegar, fruit juice, etc., and the taste is blended.
The "Naka Village tradition salt tataki" is made by putting a lot of condiments (onions, garlic, etc.) on it so that you can't see the bonito. The many condiments are not only delicious in appearance, but also good in terms of nutrition, and are very excellent as healthy foods.

There are, which can only be eaten in Shimanto City, "Naka Village Traditional Salt Tataki" has its own unshakable food culture and history. Each restaurant uses ingenuity and wisdom to offer their proud delicious "salt Tataki".
From the process of making Tataki to how to eat it, condiments, and sauces, each store has put their wisdom and ingenuity into the Commitment of "salt Tataki". In Shimanto City, there are as many shops as you can Fun with unique "salt Tataki".
You can only eat it in Shimanto City, "Naka Village traditional salt tataki". Why don't you do a salt Tataki ladder ...?

〇 Excellent compatibility with salt Tataki! "Forty Ten Bu Chu Hai"
"Naka Village traditional salt tataki" goes well with "Shimanto Buchu Hai" using the "forbidden fruit" bushukan grown in Shimanto. At an izakaya in Shimanto City, it is served as one of the Standard menus.
The taste and aftertaste are super refreshing! It is characterized by a refreshing flavor and moderate bitterness. Chuhai is popular with both men and women and goes well with Meals. There is no doubt that once you drink it, you will become addicted. Please try "Shimanto Buchu Hai" with salt Tataki!

〇Forbidden fruit grown in 40,000
Why is it a forbidden fruit?
Shimanto Bushukan is a member of the yuzu and sudachi family, but the reality is completely different. Once you taste it, you will never be satisfied with other vinegar Mandarin oranges, and its biggest feature is its sharp and refreshing acidity and unique elegant aroma. Its elegant Aroma and acidity perfectly enhance the deliciousness of all the ingredients of the mountains, rivers, and seas.
The people of Kochi Prefecture of the "Vinegar Mandarin Oranges Kingdom" who love vinegar Mandarin oranges have been called "the king of vinegar Mandarin oranges". In addition to its taste, Bushukan has a very strong vitality, and once it bears fruit, it bears fruit every year from late August to early October without much effort.
Citrus trees are only a few decades old, but bushukan bears fruit vigorously for more than a hundred years.
In addition, Bushukan is resistant to diseases and insects, and it is "safe and secure" because it grows well without relying on Pesticides. Why don't you come and taste the rare bushukan that grows only in Shimanto City and is not available nationwide ...?

How was it?
Some people may be appetized by the charm of salt Tataki and Bushukan. Please enjoy salt Tataki and Shimanto Buchu High in Shimanto City.

【Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture】You can only eat it in Shimanto City! !! "Bonito Tataki" (Part 1)

Kochi Prefecture's "delicious food" is famous nationwide, and the first thing that comes to mind is "Bonito Tataki".
Bonito is a well-known specialty of Kochi, but it is actually in season twice!
This time, we will explain about bonito, which is loved by the people of Kochi Prefecture, in Part 1, the season and characteristics, and in the next part, Part 2, we will explain the recommended way to eat it that can only be tasted in Shimanto City.

〇Bonito season! First bonito and return bonito
Bonito is a well-known specialty of Kochi, but depending on the fishing season (season), it is called "first bonito" and "return bonito"!
This time, we will introduce two types of Bonito with different names, the seasonality, characteristics, and recommended ways to eat them unique to Kochi.

〇 First bonito with a light taste!
Hatsubonito, which has long been loved as one of the seasonal ingredients of Spring, used to refer to the Bonito Landings at the beginning of the year because it has the word "first", but in recent years it has come to refer to bonito Landings in Spring ~ early summer.
Bonito fry hatched from eggs migrate north on the Kuroshio Current in search of food around Spring and grow into adult fish.
The bonito that is landed during this northward trip is "Hatsubonito". It is also called "ascending bonito". It depends on the place where the Landings is landed, but in Kochi, the season is mainly Spring ~ early summer (around March ~ May).
The first bonito, which is in the prime of growth, has a refreshing and plump taste with a lot of transparent lean meat. It has a firm texture and little Bonito Aroma, making it easy to eat even for those who are not good at it.
Hatsuboni, which is light and low in fat, is recommended to be made into Tataki, which can be eaten with a fatty skin. It is the season when the "Naka Village traditional salt tataki" eaten with plenty of condiments is delicious. We will introduce the "traditional salt Tataki of the Middle Village" in the next section, "It can only be eaten in Shimanto City!!"Bonito salt Tataki" (Part 2)!

〇 Return bonito with a rich taste!
On the other hand, Bonito, which has traveled north in search of food, begins to move south (U-turn) in search of warmer waters as the water temperature drops when it arrives in southern Hokkaido. The bonito that is Landing during this southward trip is "return bonito". In Kochi, the season is around autumn (September ~ November).
Returning bonito is fatty because it eats food many and Landings after it grows up, and it is also called "thick Bonito" and "fat Bonito". It has been loved as an autumn ingredient since ancient times.
The flesh of the large-grown bonito is deep red in color and has a rich and whitish taste with fat near the skin.

How was it?
You may be wondering about Bonito.
In the next Part 2, we will introduce "Bonito salt Tataki" that can only be eaten in Shimanto City!

【Bran Pickling Workshop 🥕】

Taking advantage of the goodness of Local ingredients, the "Bran Pickling Workshop" was 💡 held in in the hope that it would lead to new ideas for processing

Under the guidance of Rieko Temple from Gokase Town, we first tasted 🥢 the bran pickle prepared yesterday
There are 18 types in total!

Traditional Japanese straw raincoat such as cucumbers, carrots, and radishes were also discovered, as well as new flavors 👀✨ such as dried shiitake mushrooms, konjac, and Japanese ginger
After that Temple you will actually watch the Scene of the bran floor prepared in front of you, and learn 📝 the amount of Water

Then, we asked them to share the bran bed that could already be pickled, and we immediately pickled 😊 the vegetables that we had brought

It seems that it is ready to eat in about 12 hours, and everyone was looking forward to eating and took home the bran bed 🥰

Next time, I would like to try the bran pickles that the participants have 😍 pickled
