干物

食品を日光で乾燥させて保存する技術は、日本では2,000年以上の歴史があり、鳥羽の料理文化において重要な役割を果たしています。よく日干しで保存される食品には、さまざまな種の海藻や、魚、タコなどの海の生き物です。強い西風が吹く菅島は、干した伊勢海老で有名です。日本語で総称して干物(ほしもの)と呼ばれる日干しの食品は、一般的に、調合した塩を振り、台か網に並べてから太陽の下で乾燥させて作られます。年間を通して様々な食材が日干しされているので、鳥羽の島々の海岸線を歩きながら、その時期が旬の干物を探してみてください。


Sun-Dried Foods

The art of preserving foods through sun-drying has a history of more than 2,000 years in Japan, and it plays a key role in Toba’s culinary culture. Foods commonly preserved by sun-drying include various species of seaweed and sea creatures like fish and octopus. The island of Sugashima, which receives powerful westerly breezes, is renowned for its sun-dried spiny lobster. Sun-dried foods, collectively known in Japanese as hoshimono, are generally made by applying a blend of salts to the ingredients before arranging them on racks or nets to dry in the sun. Various ingredients are sun dried throughout the year, so look for the season’s hoshimono specialty as you explore the islands’ coastlines.
