Ishikawa’s local cuisine recommended in December

Ishikawa’s local cuisine recommended in December   Table of contents 1.Introduction 2.Kabura-zushi 3.Jibu-ni 4.Other local foods in Ishikawa   1.Introduction The recommended local dishes in Ishikawa prefecture in December are “Kabura-zushi” and “Jibu-ni”. Both have been selected as one of the “100 Local Cuisine” selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. https://www.maff.go.jp/j/nousin/kouryu/kyodo_ryouri/attach/pdf/190131-2.pdf   2.Kabura-zushi “Kabura-zushi” is a type of “nare sushi” that is made by sandwiching Japanese amberjack caught in the Sea of ​​Japan in winter between turnips and dipping it in koji (amazake). It has already been eaten by the ordinary people since the Edo period. “Kabura-zushi” is also eaten in Toyama prefecture, and it seems that mackerel and salmon are sometimes used instead of Japanese amberjack. “Noto Japanese amberjack” (season: December-February) has been selected as the winter “PRIDE FISH” in Ishikawa Prefecture, which is selected by Japan Fisheries Cooperatives. Since this Japanese amberjack is used for “Kabura-zushi”, the season for “Kabura-zushi” is also from December to February.   3.Jibu-ni “Jibu-ni” is a bowl of duck or chicken, vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, etc. boiled in soup stock and thickened. Wasabi is used as a condiment. I think “Jibu-ni” is a simmered dish that is well known nationwide. Weread moreIshikawa’s local cuisine recommended in December
