The appearance of Whelk (Himeezobora) nigiri<\/p><\/div>\n

Feature:<\/span><\/p>\n

Whelk (Himeezobora) is distributed from the Tohoku region and northwards, around Hokkaido and into the Bering Sea. It lives in shallow seas around 10m deep. It is spindle-shaped and brown. The shell is 7~9cm high. It is in season in summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shellfish commonly referred to as Tsubugai is a general term for members of the family Ezobai, which are eaten, and there is no shellfish called Tsubu. Himeezobora is smaller than Ezobora, so it is cheaper, but it is known for its excellent flavor. Its salivary glands contain a poison called tetramine, which needs to be carefully removed. Himeezobora is particularly poisonous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Himeezobora does not stick to vinegared rice at all, so sushi chefs in the Kanto region rarely use it. Compared to Awabi (Abalone) and Sazae (Turban shell), the flesh is much softer, with a moderate bite, and has a subtle umami and sweetness. It has a slightly plain taste and can be used in a variety of dishes. Tsubuyaki is particularly suitable<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
