Uosho Shoten offers a lineup of tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce and sugar) with a beautiful candy color. The taste of Uomasa's tsukudani is made by cooking fresh fish from Lake Biwa landed at the port of Kata with a slightly spicy flavor. The fish is simmered in sugar, soy sauce, sake, and mirin for about an hour and a half. The fish is boiled for about an hour and a half with sugar, soy sauce, sake, and mirin, without the use of tsukudani candy, which is often used. We value the soft texture of the fish. Ame makes the fish tough, so we use sugar instead to sweeten it," says Taishi Kunino, who runs the store with his father.
