Feature
Shima, which is rich in nature, is home to many delicious ingredients that are famous nationwide, such as spiny lobster, Matoya oysters, and sea lettuce. In this special feature, we will introduce Shima ingredients that are easy to prepare and delicious at home!
Although we tend to take it easy, breakfast is very important as it is the start of the day. Dishes made with fresh seafood from Ise-Shima, such as hijiki rice and miso soup with seaweed, are both delicious and healthy, making them recommended for breakfast. Start your day off right with a breakfast made with delicious ingredients from Ise-Shima.
Fresh seafood from Ise-Shima that is delicious even raw!
Ise-Shima has long been famous for producing Aosa and Hijiki, and the Aosa and Hijiki produced in Ise-Shima are delicious and very popular all over the country! Fresh fish is delicious when eaten as is, but drying it concentrates the flavor and allows you to enjoy a different flavor from raw fish.
Rice sprinkled with Ise-Shima hijiki, which has a concentrated flavor, is delicious both freshly cooked and cold. It has a taste that is easy for children to eat, so we recommend making it into rice balls and adding it to your bento menu.
Shima City's ria coastline is suitable for growing sea lettuce, and its quality and production are among the top in Japan. High-quality seaweed with the scent of the ocean is rich in nutrients, so be sure to try it in miso soup.
Dried seafood from Ise-Shima is also very popular, and dried fish is also delicious when grilled in a frying pan. It may be difficult to grill the dried fish if you are not used to it, but once the dried fish is well browned with the skin side down, turn it over and once the meat is browned, it is ready to eat.
Jam unique to Shima, which is rich in nature
The strawberries used in Shima's Megumi Jam are high-grade strawberries called ``Red Pearl,'' which have a satisfying size and are characterized by exquisite sweetness and sourness. Each item is handmade and no food additives are used so that you can enjoy the natural taste of the ingredients.

Lunch provides energy for afternoon activities and is especially important among the three meals, so it is important to maintain a balanced nutritional balance. Here is an example of a healthy and filling lunch using Shima ingredients such as pearl pork and bonito!
Hijiki Furikake with 3 types of seasoning, Ise Shima brand pork ``Pearl Pork''!
Hijiki from Ise-Shima is characterized by its firm texture and flavor, and the three types of hijiki furikake (bonito, shiso, and chirimen) go perfectly with piping hot rice! Hijiki rice is one of Ama's standard dishes. ``Pearl Pork'', which is raised on feed containing pearl ingredients, has a soft texture and a slight sweetness, making it easy to eat even for those who don't like pork.
Mix in the desired amount of hijiki furikake to complete the mixed hijiki onigiri. Mixing in edamame and corn will give it a beautiful color. Wrapping shiso leaves around rice balls adds the flavor of shiso leaves for a refreshing taste.
If you sandwich freshly fried croquettes or freshly baked sausages between your favorite breads, you'll have a hearty dish that's perfect for lunch. It's well seasoned as it is, so you don't need to put anything on it, but it's also delicious with sauce, ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise if you like.
