About Funazushi (Fermented crucian carp and rice)
Funazushi is nare-zushi, made by fermenting salted crucian carp with rice. Roe-bearing nigorobuna, a species native to Lake Biwa, is considered the most suitable fish. It was once made in households as a preserved food, but fewer families make it today, partly because nigorobuna numbers have declined. Funazushi remains popular and is a specialty of Shiga Prefecture. Its distinctive, well-balanced flavor is enjoyed by many.
