Shiga's Funazushi
大津市, Shiga
A sophisticated delicacy: traditional fermented funazushi from Lake Biwa at a long-established shop
Funazushi is Japan's oldest form of sushi (narezushi) made with Nigorobuna, a fish species endemic to Lake Biwa, with over 1000 years of history. Its distinctive sourness and umami flavor pair excellently with Japanese sake. At long-established specialty shops in Otsu City, you can savor traditionally prepared funazushi served in thin slices. It's a valuable experience to learn about fermented food culture.
