Sobre este ingrediente
Juvenile sardine and anchovy fry (typically <30mm), boiled and either eaten fresh, semi-dried (kama-age, chirimen), or fully-dried (chirimen-jako). Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Wakayama, Hyogo, and Kochi are the principal commercial harvest regions. Calcium-rich (~2,000 mg/100g dry) and increasingly used as a calcium-fortification ingredient in functional foods. Distinct from existing niboshi entry (which is a smaller-volume, larger-fish anchovy).
