Niigata is a "treasure house of food"! Not only is it blessed with nationally renowned rice, but also sake, vegetables and fruit, seafood, mountain produce and other delicious ingredients. Among them. With a long coastline stretching 331 km from north to south, and remote islands such as Sado and Awashima, seafood from the Sea of Japan is an essential part of Niigata's culinary culture!
One of the reasons why Niigata's fish is so tasty is that it is a 'heavy snowfall area' and has 'big rivers' such as the Shinano and Agano Rivers. The mineral-rich snowmelt pours into the sea through the big rivers, which are full of high-quality plankton. Fish gather to feed on this plankton!
In such a favourable environment, the people of Niigata enjoy seafood in all four seasons.
Taste seasonal fish all at once! The dreamy seafood bara donburi is now available!
Tasting seasonal fish is Niigata's best luxury. But what if you could enjoy all the seafood representing the season at once! Nikotto Corporation's seafood bara donburi 'Hakushu Kassai' fulfils such a greedy wish!
The four chosen fish are four of Niigata's finest fish of the year. They are sea bream in spring, nodoguro in summer, willow flounder in autumn and nanban shrimps in winter! What a luxury!
I've never had anything like this!" This luxurious bowl of rice is made possible by a state-of-the-art quick-freezing machine called a proton freezer. It is said to prevent the destruction of food cells, preserve freshness and retain flavour even after thawing, just like the cold sleep in science fiction.
As it arrives frozen, it may be the perfect gift to show your appreciation for those who have taken care of you, such as year-end gifts and mid-year gifts!
'Bai Shu Kashui' order! First, defrost.
This seafood bowl 'Bai Shu Kangsai' can be purchased by mail order.
Gorgeous gift-like contents.
Open the inside and you will find a set of rice, fish and sauce. The rice and fish are frozen and need to be thawed.
Defrost the fish in the tray in the fridge or under running water. In this case, defrost under running water for about 15 minutes.
Defrost the rice in the microwave in the bag, about 3 minutes.
I finished warming it up and put it in a larger bowl. As I was serving it, I could smell the nice aroma of the vinegared rice!
Yes, you can have 'Bai Ju Kang Chai' with vinegared rice - right?
Incidentally, Niigata rice is known as Koshihikari, but because it is a soft variety, it is actually said to be difficult to match with sushi and seafood bowls. At Hakushu Kassai, we use Niigata Koshibuki rice, which is less sticky, and each grain of rice has a strong flavour and texture.
Then serve the thawed fish.
Niigata's tastiest fish is white fish! Sea bream, nodoguro and willow flounder in white with nanban prawns in vermilion. ...... I see! That's why this bowl of rice is called 'white and vermilion'!
Done! Mmmm! Looks delicious!
No, wait a minute: ......
Add some shiso leaves, which I had forgotten about.
Mmm... the white vermilion flourishes when green is added...
The luxury rice bowl is ready to eat! Eat it!
I'll have this gorgeous bowl of rice as soon as possible!
The white meat is so plump that it's hard to believe it's frozen!
Hmmm! Fleshy!
Incidentally, I am a big fan of southern prawns.
Tender and sweet! Best for.
Also works well with vinegared rice!
We forgot to introduce the sauce, but in fact the sauce is also very special. The sauce is an original product, aged for a long time using salmon bones from Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. The flavour, which I have not tasted before, was an image of luxurious ingredients connected together.
However, the sea bream is a representative of high-end white fish. Nodoguro (bluefin tuna), known as the toro of white fish. The queen of flounder, 'Yanagi-Karei', Niigata's famous fish known to those in the know. It was so extravagant that I almost cried a little while chewing it.
'But I still think you're the best ......Nanban Shrimp......'
Happy times fly by.
Thank you, Sea of Japan. Thank you, Niigata.
Ideal as a thank-you gift!
Well, it was a luxury.
Despite the fact that each of the ingredients is representative of Niigata, they are not too self-assertive, which is very typical of Niigata (laughs), and they have a sense of unity and are really delicious.
It's a bit pricey, but it could be the perfect gift for those who want to show their appreciation! It's the time of year for year-end gifts, so why not check them out?
