YAKI-AGO New Item!!
Ago means Tobiuo (flying fish) in the regional
dialect. It is one of the local specialities in
Hirado (Nagasaki). Yaki-Ago is grilled and dried
young “flying fishes” for making delicious
broth. Just like when you use kelp (kombu), you
get kombu-dashi. Broth made from yaki-ago
is richer than bonito dashi and more plesantly
flavorful. This special broth is very common in
Kyushu region of Japan and used in a variety of
the dishes.

KIKUSUI FUNAGUCHI
“Funaguchi” is a truly fresh sake which
is not subjected to either pasteurization
or blending. Funaguchi has an alcohol
content of 19% which is slightly higher
compared with the average sake. Being
rich and flavorful in taste, Funaguchi
presents slightly different variation
mature tastes as it deepens its maturation in a can, fresh our of the
brewery, six months later, and one year later.
NEW! SHINMAI FUNAGUCHI (Green)
Much like the yellow can, this is a one of a kind “nama” sake. Although
you may detect a slight sharpness in the beginning. that is because this
is the very first batch coming out of the brewery. A Bourgelais Nouveau
of sorts. The sake is tight and fresh. Unique in it’s own way.

Fish of April B AY SCALLOPS
Bay scallops and sea scallops are closely related
members of the same family of shellfish. Both
make extremely good eating. Bay scallops are
inhabitants of the shallow waters of the bays, and
gourmets particularly prize bay scallops, which
are much smaller than sea scallops, for their
tenderness and the sweetness of their flavor.

Recipe of April ISHIRI
SHOYU
Ishiri is a traditional fish sauce that originated in Noto-cho town
in Ishikawa Prefecture. Ishiri uses squid intestines as the basic
ingredient, and is prepared by pickling the ingredients with salt
before letting them ferment naturally for 2 to 3 years. Ishiri is
best used as a ‘hidden flavor’ of a recipe, much like namplah. It
has been confirmed that Ishiri contains substances that contain
antioxidants, low molecular peptides as well as agents that
suppress blood pressure elevation. As a result of this, people are
taking a second look at Ishiri as a naturally fermented healthy
“slow-food” which is a safe and natural all-purpose seasoning.

HANDMADE TAKOYAKI
Takoyaki (literally fried or grilled
octopus) is a popular ball-shaped
Japanese savory pancake made
of batter and cooked in a special
takoyaki pan . This frozen Takayaki is
made by hand, and have a perfectly
round shape, which is very hard to
find in any other frozen Takoyaki
in the market. Originally takoyaki
used to be eaten without sauce or
dip, but in modern days it became
common to eat it with a variety of
sauces , such as Okonomiyaki sauce (Japanese Worcestershire sauce)
with shaved Bonito flakes and Aonori Seaweed flakes, or with Mayonnaise
and chopped scallion, or with mayonnaise and Japanese Shichimi pepper
flakes. # 71518 F-TAKOYAKI
