Ehime Taimeshi
Also known as: Ehime Sea Bream Rice, Hojo Taimeshi
Ehime rice cooked with whole sea bream, kombu, light soy sauce and sake.
About Ehime Taimeshi
Ehime taimeshi includes more than one established regional style. This official Ehime Culinary Institute recipe follows the Toyo and Chuyo cooked-fish style, placing whole sea bream and kombu over seasoned rice.
Sea bream and kombu give the rice a clean marine savouriness, while light soy sauce, sake and salt season it gently without masking the fish.
The fish cooks intact above the rice, then its bones and the kombu are removed. Flaked sea bream is mixed through the glossy grains, with mitsuba as an optional fresh green garnish.
