Naruto Sea Bream

English

英語版

“Naru-churu” Udon Noodles

These sea bream grow up tossed about in the fierce waters of the Naruto Strait, and have a lean, cherry-colored glistening figure that makes them of the highest quality. You can try the full fish as sashimi in "sugata-zukuri" and also thoroughly enjoy the fish's rich flavor with rice in "tai meshi."

When talking about the well-guarded secret menu of Naruto, this udon is a very popular item. The soft noodles float in a beautiful golden broth, and it is topped off with fresh, finely shredded deep-fried tofu. These three tastes are woven together into a single flavor that is truly the soul food of Naruto.

Tokushima Ramen

Naruto’

s Sweets

Tokushima ramen is a kingly dish with medium cut noodles in pork bone broth, soy sauce soup topped with pork belly, green onions, bean sprouts, and a raw egg. There are three types, each with their own unique, delicious ﬂavor, and they can be identiﬁed by the color of their broth: white, brown, or gold.

Local specialty "Naruto Kintoki," as well as Awa Wasanbon sugar, wakame, lotus root, etc., are all used in the rich, delicious sweets of the area, giving them regional color. The puﬀy texture and rich red bean taste are features of "Awa Uiro," and Naruto is one of the three major Uiro producers in Japan along with Nagoya and Yamaguchi.

Naruto’

s Local Sake

Pears

The rich waters below the Sanuki Mountains is used to grow rice excellent for making a variety of popular Japanese sake such as junmai, honjozo, and ginjoshu, among others. Additionally, as far as sake unique to the region, there is alcohol made using "Naruto Kintoki" (locally grown sweet potatoes) and a drink made using sudachi citrus, which is a specialty of Tokushima.

The pear is a popular fruit of early autumn. The renowned "Awa pear," a Chojuro Asian pear, has an amazingly refreshing sweet taste, even though the Kosui and Hosui Asian pear varieties are now more mainstream. From mid-August through late September you can enjoy hunting for pears.

Kintoki are cultivated in sandy soil rich with minerals from the sea in a mild climate with little rainfall, making for a healthy sweet potato rich in dietary ﬁber and vitamin C. They have a vibrant golden color, and an excellent taste stemming from a unique texture and full sweetness.

This wakame is grown being tossed about in the torrents that produce Naruto's whirlpools, and has an excellent crunch. It is filled with numerous vitamins and minerals, along with the flavor, color, and crunch of a first-class product. When blanched, it shines a vibrant green.

Kintoki Sweet Potatoes Wakame Seaweed

This deep, vivid indigo is known to the world as Japan Blue. The indigo dye is made from the indigo plant, and a special dyeing method is used to color thread and fabric. The dyed cloth has color that is extremely fade-resistant, keeps away the cold, and will not irritate the skin.

Naruto's lotus root is grown in good quality clayey soil, and is white in color with a crisp taste that is soft on the palate. If you want to enjoy the taste, try it teriyaki style or with rice, and ﬁnding a restaurant with it ﬁlled and fried or fried on a skewer is also highly recommended.

Sudachi are known throughout Japan as a specialty of Tokushima. Naturally the juice can be squeezed out and the skin can also be grated to use as seasonings that go great with any food, whether it be Japanese, Western, Chinese, etc., and have a refreshing aroma and pleasant acidity.
