■ Awaji Island Spanish Mackerel
"Awaji Island Sawara" (Spanish Mackerel) is landed on Awaji Island through gillnetting and pole-and-line fishing.
Until now, Spanish Mackerel was generally eaten grilled with salt or Saikyo-zuke (miso-marinated) in the Keihanshin and Eastern Japan regions. However, local fishermen on Awaji Island, with the desire to share "Sawara is most delicious eaten raw, as sashimi, tataki, or with chameshi (tea rice)!" and "We want to deliver this Awaji delicacy nationwide!", established the "Awaji Island Sawara Food Culture Promotion Council" to popularize the culture of eating raw Spanish Mackerel as a new specialty of Awaji Island.
■ "Sushitomi" - An Overwhelmingly Authentic Piece of Sushi, Where Artisanal Skills Shine on Awaji Island's Seasonality
"Sushitomi" is a sushi restaurant committed to offering carefully selected ingredients, with the aim of "making Awaji Island sushi more widely known." Focusing on fresh seafood from nearby Awaji Island waters, such as pike conger from Nushima, red sea urchin from Yura, and Awaji Island 3-year tiger puffer from Fukura, you can fully enjoy the seasonal flavors.
The red vinegar used for the sushi rice is aged for one month with kelp, salt, and lemon, and then finished with added salt and sugar, resulting in a very mellow flavor. Please enjoy a unique piece of sushi from Awaji Island, prepared with care and effort.
