Fujikichi mackerel sushi

Fujikichi in Mizuguchi, Shiga, uses local Mizuguchi kanpyo (dried gourd) in their mackerel sushi.

The large sphere that stands out next to the counter is Mizuguchi Kanpyo, a specialty of Mizuguchi. The sweetness of the kanpyo is concentrated by sun-drying. The owner, Mr. Yosuke Hirai, invented the "Binobe Sushi" to let more people know how delicious it is.

The dish starts with the mild flavor of the mackerel, followed by the chewy texture of the shibazuke pickles, the freshness of the shiso leaves, and finally the sweetness of the kanpyo (dried gourd-shaped gourd). The dish is a taste of the ingenuity he cultivated during his training at Kinobue, a Kyoto cuisine restaurant, to please his customers.
