Shirasu Don

Plenty of tender shirasu (whitebait) on top of hot rice! A famous Wakayama dish topped generously with the fruits of the sea

Fresh shirasu are harvested on that day and then cooked in a pot before topped in abundance over a bowl of hot rice to make shirasu don. It’s great for its light taste bringing together the slightly salty shirasu and rice.
