November 13th to November 30th Tambasasayama “Saba-zushi”(Mackerel Sushi) Fair

Come and experience Tambasasayama food culture at the “Saba-zushi”(Mackerel Sushi )Fair”

 

Saba Kaido (mackerel road) connects Wakasa and Tambasasayama

 

“Saba-zushi” is a type of Bo-zushi (a stick-shaped pressed sushi, topped with a large slice of fish) featuring mackerel. It is a specialty of Tambasasayama. But why is mackerel sushi available in Tambasasayama, far from the sea?

In the days before refrigeration technology was developed, mackerel caught in Wakasa Bay were salted and transported on foot by peddlers to the capital of Kyoto. This route was called the “Saba Kaido,” and the western end of it was Tambasasayama. It took over a full day to transport the salted mackerel, and by the time it arrived in Tambasasayama, it had reached the perfect level of saltiness. The local people highly valued it and started using it to make Saba-zushi

During the autumn festival that celebrates the harvest, the Saba-zushi tradition is passed down from generation to generation. Sushi rice made from new rice is topped with vinegared, salted mackerel and wrapped in a young bamboo peel. Many restaurants in the city also serve mackerel sushi.
