[I can't help but stop, the melt-in-your-mouth texture] "Don't you have the image of sardine flakes being a little bitter?" Overturning that common sense is this dish made by the only remaining long-established shaved flake shop in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is fluffy like a feather, and when you put it in your mouth, the flavor of the sardines spreads out. ■ "Long-established craftsmanship" that supported Yamaguchi's food culture In the past, all the famous restaurants and inns in the prefecture used it for broth. Using high-quality scourers from Kumamoto Prefecture's beef deep harvest, craftsmen remove the "heads" by hand one by one. Because of this effort, sardines do not have the unique bitterness and are surprisingly easy to eat. ■ Why do farms sell "shaved flakes"? There is a secret in the "soil preparation" of Hiiragi Farm. In order to create mineral-rich soil, we inherit small fish bones from this shaving shop as raw materials for compost. "What is a source of good soil should be the most delicious for humans to eat." I fell in love with that conviction and the attitude of the craftsmen to make things, and we have specially handled them. ■A gem that sells like crazy at local direct stores In fact, it is an easy-to-use "dining table companion" with an overwhelming "many repeat customers". It is often sold out at agricultural cooperative direct sales offices and local roadside stations. There are many requests for reservations and direct orders, and it is a hidden popular product of our garden. ■ 22 times more than milk! "Calcium to eat" Sardines are a treasure trove of nutrients.
