Aomori’s culinary treats!

Since Aomori is located by the sea, naturally their cuisine involves a ton of seafood. In my opinion, produce from the seas offers the BEST in terms of flavors. Fresh seafood like fish, clams, crabs and shrimps has a type of sweetness in its flesh that requires very little seasoning. One main reason why sashimi needs sushi-grade fish is for this reason.

One of the local specialty in Aomori is the Ichigo-ni, which literally translates to stewed strawberries. It’s nto made out of strawberries but sea urchin eggs decked ontop of a soupy delicious broth. It needs little seasoning and is eaten with a touch of Shiso. Writing this, my mouth is salivating as sea urchin eggs are my favorite. The texture and creaminess of the eggs is unbeatable and I would say, liken to the roes of Hairy Crabs roes from China.
