Japanese Noted Foods  Jyakoten  
 Report

The "Bungo" strait is in the western part of the Shikoku district. Firefly JAKO (: small fish) is caught in the "Uwa" sea. It is "Jyakoten" which mashed this and was used as tempura. From the first, it is the origin to have taken the boiled-fish-paste craftsman of "Date-han" (: Sendai).

If it thinks suddenly, this firefly JAKO is worrisome somehow. Firefly JAKO is what. The name which seems to be nice is the fish which shines like a firefly.



The "Jyakoten" which I had grilled for a while is very fragrant, and excites appetite. Since it grilled, it is visible like Deep-fried fish balls. But, when it eats, there is no oil like deep-fried fish balls, and when it is biting, there is sometimes resistance to the teeth of the small bones of firefly JAKO. Inside is a gray color of ground fish. A salty taste is attached firmly and I want to come to eat boiled rice. It is very nice when wasabi sauce is dipped. I want to come to drink sake.
