Tottori
Vegetarian ‘shojin’ cuisine with a rich seafood aroma.
Igisu
A dish made by boiling down ‘igisuso’, a type of red algae otherwise known as ‘egonori’, and letting it set in a dish. It sets naturally without the need for coagulants, on the same principle as agar-agar and is eaten sprinkled with sesame seeds and topped with a vinegar-miso or ginger-soy sauce. While it bears a resemblance to yokan bean paste, when you bite into it the flavor of the sea fills your mouth, and it has a unique enjoyable texture too.
