[Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture] Only in Shimanto City!! “Salt-Seared Bonito” (Part 2) Following Part 1, Part 2 introduces recommended ways to enjoy the bonitos seared in Shimanto City that you can taste only here. 〇 Nakamura’s one-and-only “Traditional Salt-Seared Bonito” When people think of delicious food from Kochi Prefecture nationwide, the first thing that comes to mind is the seared bonito. Sprinkling salt or pouring sauce before searing is said to be a food culture unique to Kochi. Yet within the same prefecture, the style in central Kochi City differs greatly from that in Nakamura in the southwestern Shimanto City: Nakamura’s salt-seared method stands apart. Around Kochi City, the dish is a simple one of just sprinkled salt. In Nakamura, by contrast, chefs marinate the seared fish with proud house sauces featuring salt, vinegar, citrus juice, and other flavoring, letting the flavors meld. Nakamura’s traditional salt-seared bonito piles on heaps of condiments—onions, garlic and more—until the fish is nearly hidden. Those generous toppings don’t just look appetizing; they make nutritionally balanced combinations, so the dish is also excellent as a healthy choice. Nakamura’s traditional salt-seared bonito, found only in Shimanto City, carries an unshakable local food culture and history. Each restaurant crafts and serves its own proud version of this delicious salt-seared specialty. From the searing process to the way it’s eaten, the condiments and the sauces, every establishment applies its own ingenuity and care to its salt-seared bonito. In Shimanto City, you can enjoy as many distinctive salt-seared styles as there are restaurants. Would you like to go on a salt-seared tasting tour in Shimanto City and sample Nakamura’s traditional salt-seared bonito? 〇 Perfect match for salt-seared bonito: Shimanto Bu-chu Highball A perfect companion to Nakamura’s traditional salt-seared bonito is the Shimanto Bu-chu Highball, made with the locally grown “forbidden fruit” bushukan. It’s a standard menu item at izakayas in Shimanto City. The drink is ultra-refreshing from first sip to finish, with a crisp citrus flavor and a pleasant, moderate bitterness. Popular with both men and women, it pairs beautifully with food. Try Shimanto Bu-chu Highball with salt-seared bonito—you’ll likely get hooked after one sip. 〇 Shimanto-grown “forbidden fruit”—the bushukan Why call it the forbidden fruit? Bushukan is related to yuzu and sudachi but is an entirely different fruit. Once you taste it, ordinary vinegar-citrus fruits won’t satisfy—you’ll understand why it’s called the “forbidden fruit.” Its defining features are a clean, sharp acidity and a uniquely refined aroma. That elegant scent and tartness bring out the best in ingredients from mountains, rivers, and sea. Beloved by citrus fans across Kochi, the “kingdom of sour citrus,” bushukan has long been nicknamed the “king of sour citrus.” Beyond its flavor, the tree is very vigorous: once it bears fruit, it will yield abundantly each year from late August through early October with little care. While most citrus trees live for several decades, bushukan remains healthy and productive for over a hundred years. Bushukan is also resistant to disease and pests and grows vigorously without heavy reliance on pesticides, making it a safe, reliable crop. This rare bushukan grows only in Shimanto City and is not shipped widely across Japan—why not come taste it for yourself? How did you find this? Perhaps the appeal of salt-seared bonito and bushukan has whetted your appetite. Please enjoy salt-seared bonito and a Shimanto Bu-chu Highball when you visit 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!
