🍱 Gennarizushi

Splendid alfonsino fishing in Inatori began in the Meiji era. The dish handed down in this area for special occasions is pressed sushi topped with red and white soboro (locally known as oboro) made from splendid alfonsino. It is made during celebratory events such as weddings, Shichi-Go-San, and coming-of-age ceremonies. It is said that it got its name because of its size and the fact that just eating it makes you feel miserable. In addition to splendid alfonsino oboro, gennarizushi is also sometimes made as a set with pressed sushi topped with lean tuna sashimi, simmered shiitake mushrooms, and tamagoyaki.
