Takashima, Shiga, Japan｜Henkutsu

I bought this for dinner at camp. I mainly intended it for my own evening drink. It was so delicious that even a 7-year-old got into a battle over it.

I've only eaten twice, but it's more delicious than the mackerel sushi at famous restaurants in Kyoto.

I was drawn to the store name and entered the store. Then, the shop owner's first response was to say, ``I'm on my way home.'' ``Oh, then I'll come again next time,'' and when I was about to leave, he said languidly, ``I'll sell it to you.'' Apparently it was the last piece of mackerel sushi, and when I took it out on the cutting board, it happily boasted, ``I've got such good mackerel.'' That alone shows that he is very particular about his mackerel sushi. After having it cut and wrapped, I couldn't wait to get home so I stopped my car at a roadside station on the way. Ah...what an exquisite amount of vinegar, and the quality of the mackerel meat. The just right amount of fat is sweetened with vinegar, giving you a strong taste of the mackerel. The rice was also sour, but the rice and gari amplified the flavor of the mackerel. Probably the most delicious mackerel sushi I've ever eaten. It's not the raw-ish mackerel sushi that's been trending lately, but rather the seasoning is firm and firm, with the premise that the vinegar will work. The packaging is traditional, perhaps because they are particular about it. I found this a good store. Be sure to stop by when you're passing by.
