About Urume Iwashi Maruboshi (whole-dried round sardines)

The name iwashi (sardine) is said to come from the fish’s delicate nature: it loses freshness quickly and dies soon after being caught. Urume refers to its eyes, which look moist. Compared with other sardines, urume iwashi is low in fat, so it is often made into dried fish, including maruboshi, in which the fish are dried whole. Lightly grill and eat them whole: their pleasant saltiness and savory flavor deepen with every bite. They are also known for various health benefits.
