About Shirasu Don

Shirasu Don (しらす丼, Shirasu don) is a beloved dish from Yuasa Town in Wakayama Prefecture, a place known for being one of Japan's leading regions in shirasu (whitebait) catches.

While fresh shirasu is available year-round, the catch from October to December is particularly prized for its firm texture and exceptional flavor. The town is home to many popular restaurants serving delicious Shirasu Don, making it a must-try dish when visiting the area.
