Carp flavored carp sushi

Ryuo's [Funa Flavor] makes funa sushi easier to eat with just a single effort.

The owner, Yoshihiro Okawa, is a chef trained at kaiseki restaurants and ryokan.

When he took over the family business, he used his experience as a Japanese cuisine chef to launch a series of new products, including smoked funazushi, rusks, and even pickles and fermented dips made from funazushi rice. He has also made improvements to the funa-zushi, saying, "I have inherited my father's method of making funa-zushi, but I take a little extra step before dipping the rice in it to reduce the smell."

The plate shown in the photo is for two LL size crucian carp sushi. One LL size nigororo crucian carp is 7992 yen. There are three types of funa-zushi: Nigoro funa, Gengoro funa, and smoked funa.

In the old days, when we had festivals or gatherings, we used to dish up funazushi like this," he said, preparing a plate full of funazushi. The beauty of the dish seems to reflect Shiga's pride and Okawa's passion.

Funa-flavored funa-tea

Funacha 970 yen. A paste of funazushi smoked with Tsuchiyama tea for a deep aroma and taste. Includes 2 slices of funa-zushi and a teabag of Tsuchiyama tea that goes well with funa-zushi.

Funa fillet wine with funa flavor

Funa fillet sake: 380 yen for a pack of 10 pieces. Like fugu (blowfish) fillet sake, funazushi fillets are seared and served in hot sake to gradually add flavor and richness to the sake.
