[Making Dried-fish]
Try making dried-fish using delicious fish from Naruto !

For this activity we use mackerel and horse mackerel, which are comparatively easy to handle. These fresh fish are carefully selected from those raised in the whirlpools of the Naruto Strait.

This activity is okay even for children who have never touched raw fish before! Our staff will carefully explain how to prepare the fish and be there to support you during the entire process.

At Toyota Shoten, we take full advantage of our great location on the Oge Kainan Dori and spare no time or effort in making dried-fish by hand each day, utilizing our special techniques. Plenty of exposure to the sun and salty sea breeze of Naruto erases the fishy smell and aids in the formation of the umami ingredients glutamic acid and amino acid, resulting in a top-quality taste.

While waiting for the fish to dry in the sun, enjoy tasting some of Toyota Shoten's prized dried-fish. The taste of dried-fish while gazing out at the Naruto Sea from the terrace and listening to the sounds of waves, is truly amazing.

[Making Tokoroten]
While waiting for the dried fish to be finished, it's time to try making tokoroten using natural tengusa seaweed!

Natural tokoroten has a smooth and tender texture, and tastes exceptionally delicious. Our staff will teach you how to make tokoroten, as well as some interesting trivia!

While it's boiling, challenge yourself with the Tokoroten Quiz Tournament! It's a great way to have fun with friends and family. ♪

While the tokoroten is cooling, we will make ponzu sauce using citrus fruit juice, so you can enjoy the fragrance and umami of hand-made ponzu sauce.

Once the tokoroten has hardened, it's time to use the tokoroten noodle maker. The jelly like feeling is a lot of fun! After it is finally finished, enjoy slurping some tokoroten while gazing out at the beautiful Naruto sea.

*Please note that, while our staff are not fluent in English, we will do our best to accommodate guests from overseas.

[Toyota Shoten]
We want to share Naruto's delicious food with as many people as possible, and have more people know about Naruto. Our staff all work together to achieve this goal.

    Schedule

    ① Reception

    ② Activity Start
    The activity will begin with making dried-fish. The type of fish will vary depending on the season, but we always prepare fresh fish. We typically use mackerel/horse mackerel, which are comparatively easy to prepare.
    *2 ~ 3 Pieces per Person. (Depending on Size)

    ③ Fish Filleting Lesson
    Although we will use knives, small children are welcome to join when accompanied by a parent or guardian! Our staff will teach you how to properly fillet the fish!

    ④ Soaking the Filleted Fish in Salt Water
    The fish need to be soaked for approximately 1 hour, so we will start the tokoroten activity in the meantime. ♪

    ⑤ Making Tokoroten with 100% Natural Naruto Tengusa Seaweed
    While listening to the explanation, cook the tokoroten in a pot on low heat, and once it has simmered, strain the liquid. Next, the tokoroten will put into a container and placed in the refrigerator to harden.

    ⑥ Making Ponzu Sauce
    Next we will make ponzu sauce using 100% juice made of squeezed citrus fruits grown in Naruto. After it is finished, pour the sauce into a container and take your hand-made ponzu sauce home with you.

    ⑦ After Soaking in Salt Water, Dry the Fish out in the Sun
    It will take about 3 hours for the fish to dry in the sun. Until then, it's time for the long awaited tasting activity. ♪

    ⑧ Tasting Activity!
    While waiting, enjoy freshly grilled fish. (Approximately 1 fish per person.) The dried fish of that day (squid, horse mackerel, mackerel, sea bream, etc.) are grilled and served.

    In addition, enjoy some freshly made tokoroten. Place the hardened tokoroten into the noodle maker and push! With that it's done and you can enjoy slurping some freshly made noodles.

    ◇ For those who don't want to bring their finished products home on the day of the activity, we can send it afterwards. (Separate Fee Required)
