Persimmon leaf sushi introduction
Kakinoha Sushi, one of Nara's representative local dishes, is a sushi made of bite-sized vinegared rice combined with fillets such as mackerel and salmon, wrapped in persimmon leaves and pressed.
Persimmon leaves are rich in tannins and vitamins that have antioxidant and bactericidal effects, and are so excellent that persimmon is used as an herbal medicine.
In addition to preventing sushi from drying, it is said that it has an effect that enhances the preservation. It is also believed that green fish such as mackerel contain ingredients that reduce cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis, and the benefits of vinegar used in sushi rice are widely known.
