Shirasu in Enoshima 江ノ島のしらす







Enoshima is famous for its shirasu. On our summer holidays we were lucky to get nama shirasu, uncooked shirasu, which you can only harvest when the weather is good. The day we arrived in Enoshima we were told that the water was too rough to harvest shirasu. But, the next morning when we woke up the waters were calm and we could try the nama shirasu. It is rich in flavor and intense unlike the cooked shirasu that are light and delicate. The other dish we tried was tempura of shirasu and sliced onions. The onions added a nice sweetness to the tempura. This restaurant was on the island of Enoshima off the main street into a small alley.
