History and Origins
In Nagasaki, whalers have been doing this since the time of the cast. By the time of the Edo, he flourished as the center of the old whale. And in Nagasaki, where there is a culture of whale-eating, and there are various kinds of whale dishes from ancient times. "A whale" is one of them. After the modern age when meat was born, the meat from whale meat was made in local homes.
When It Is Eaten
"The whale" - which has long been known as a common family dish - has become less familiar since the price of salt whale in ingredients has increased recently. Among the many whale restaurants in the province, there are always servings as one of the menus.
How It Is Eaten
I'm going to make it using the sold-out salt whale. Among those who are not normally used to eating whale meat, whale meat tends to shy away from having a particular odor or fatty texture. However, this dish makes a good match with the rice that cooks with the cucumbers, and the good taste in whale meat makes it more appealing to all men and women.

- It's a low-stin, and I'll cut it into 5 and a half centimeters.
