Kochi Prefecture, Shimanto City: Only in Shimanto City!! "Bonito Salt Tataki" (Part 2) Following Part 1, in Part 2, we will introduce recommended ways to enjoy "Bonito Tataki" that can only be tasted in Shimanto City. 〇 "Nakamura's Traditional Salt Tataki" only available in Nakamura When it comes to delicious food from Kochi Prefecture, the first thing that comes to mind is the "Bonito Tataki," which is famous nationwide. Sprinkling salt or sauce and "tapping" is said to be a unique food culture of Kochi Prefecture. However, even within Kochi Prefecture, the way to enjoy "Salt Tataki" is significantly different between Kochi City in the center and Nakamura in the southwestern region of Shimanto City. Around Kochi City, it is a simple dish with just salt sprinkled, but in Nakamura, they mainly use their special sauces made with salt, vinegar, and fruit juice to prepare the tataki, allowing the flavors to meld together. The "Nakamura Traditional Salt Tataki" is piled high with condiments (such as onion and garlic) to the point where the bonito is no longer visible. The abundance of condiments not only makes it visually appealing but also provides a nutritious combination, making it an excellent healthy dish. The "Nakamura Traditional Salt Tataki" that can only be enjoyed in Shimanto City has an unwavering unique food culture and history. Each restaurant offers their delicious "Salt Tataki" with creativity and ingenuity. From the process of making the tataki to the ways of eating, condiments, and sauces, each establishment has its own commitment to their "Salt Tataki." In Shimanto City, you can enjoy various unique "Salt Tataki" dishes, each with its own personality. Why not try the "Nakamura Traditional Salt Tataki" that can only be eaten in Shimanto City? 〇 Perfect Match with Salt Tataki! "Shimanto Bu-chu Highball" The "Shimanto Bu-chu Highball" made with "forbidden fruit" bushukan, which is grown in Shimanto, pairs perfectly with the "Nakamura Traditional Salt Tataki." It is offered as a staple menu item in izakayas in Shimanto City. It has a super refreshing taste and aftertaste! It features a refreshing flavor and moderate bitterness. This chuhai is popular among both men and women and pairs well with meals. Once you try it, you will definitely become hooked. Be sure to try the "Shimanto Bu-chu Highball" along with the salt tataki! 〇 "Forbidden Fruit" Grown in Shimanto: Bushukan Why is it called forbidden fruit? Bushukan is a relative of yuzu and sudachi, but it is entirely different. Once you taste it, you won't be satisfied with any other citrus fruit; it truly is the "forbidden fruit". Its biggest feature is its crisp, refreshing acidity and unique elegant aroma. This elegant aroma and acidity beautifully enhance the flavors of various ingredients from mountains and seas. Loved by the citizens of Kochi Prefecture, known as the "King of Citrus" in the "Citrus Kingdom," bushukan not only has a delightful taste but also possesses remarkable vitality. Once it starts to bear fruit, it produces abundantly from late August to early October with minimal care. While the lifespan of citrus trees is usually several decades, bushukan continues to thrive for over a hundred years. Moreover, bushukan is resistant to diseases and pests, growing vigorously without relying on pesticides, making it "safe and secure." Why not come and taste this rare bushukan that only grows in Shimanto City and is not available nationwide? What did you think? Some of you may feel your appetite whetted by the charm of salt tataki and bushukan. Please enjoy salt tataki and the Shimanto Bu-chu Highball in Shimanto City.
