About Shima-zushi (Soy-marinated fish nigiri with mustard)
Shima-zushi uses fish caught around the island, such as mahi-mahi, Japanese butterfish, alfonsino, striped jack, amberjack, and bonito. The fish is marinated in soy sauce, and the sushi rice is notably sweetened with sugar. Mustard is used instead of wasabi, giving this nigiri sushi its distinctive look. Shima-zushi is a signature local dish of Hachijo Island.
