Iwashi Japan’s Humble Sardine

Iwashi ( Sardine) is one of Japan’s most cherished everyday fish humble, nutritious, and deeply embedded in Japanese food culture. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and calcium, Iwashi is enjoyed across Japan in many forms grilled as iwashi no shioyaki, simmered in umeboshi plum sauce, served as fresh sashimi, or eaten as tatami iwashi (dried sardine sheets). In Japanese folklore, sardines also have a protective role their strong smell is said to ward off evil spirits during the Setsubun festival in February. A fish with both flavour and meaning.
