Our kohada (gizzard shad) comes from Amakusa in Kumamoto Prefecture.<\/p>\n

Kohada is usually cured firmly with salt and vinegar, but we prefer to preserve as much of the fish’s natural umami and texture as possible.<\/p>\n

Rather than soaking it in red vinegar, we pass it through for just an instant, then vacuum-seal it and let it rest overnight. During that time, the salt and vinegar settle in slowly, and we finish it the following day.<\/p>\n

The aim is not to build flavor with strong vinegar, but to find a balance where the kohada’s own umami, its delicate texture, and the gentle acidity of the red vinegar become one.<\/p>\n

Not the sharpness of vinegar on the first bite, but an umami that deepens the more you chew. We hope you will taste the difference in a single piece.<\/p>\n
