If you come to Miyoshi, stop here! Preserving Miyoshi’s soul food
People come from Tokyo, Osaka, Kyushu and all over Japan
to taste Miyoshi’s soul food, wani (wani),
and many visit this place.
This is Fujita Foods in Megurikami, Miyoshi City.
As one of the country’s rare specialty shops for wani cuisine,
it has been featured in numerous media outlets and magazines.
In Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, "wani" refers to shark meat.
This regional dialect term describes a highly preservable food
that was valued in inland areas without access to the sea.
It remains a traditional local dish often served at celebratory gatherings.
When you come here, you must try the "wani sashimi" (one serving 500 yen).
At Fujita Foods, they serve fresh "wani sashimi" rather than frozen.
Shark suited for raw consumption is rare and hard to obtain,
so many rely on frozen stock.
Fujita Foods has partnered with four ports nationwide
and developed its own route to transport freshly landed wani
to Miyoshi immediately.
The fresh "wani sashimi" is softly tender
with a subtle sweetness.
Its clean texture makes it easy to enjoy many slices!
"Many visitors leave here stunned, saying, 'I didn’t know wani sashimi could be this delicious!'" says owner Mr. Fujita.
In the past, wani was an indispensable celebratory ingredient
for Miyoshi people at autumn festivals and New Year’s gatherings.
In recent years, improved transportation and a wider variety of sashimi options
have led to a decline in the custom of eating wani.
Wani is high in protein, low in calories, and rich in beauty-enhancing collagen and DHA.
"I want people to taste something truly delicious.
I want to pass Miyoshi’s traditional food on to younger generations,"
says Mr. Fujita, who works daily to promote wani cuisine.
When you visit Miyoshi, be sure to try fresh wani!!
