About Sawachi Ryori (Assorted dishes served on a large platter)

Sawachi ryori is a hearty local specialty featuring sashimi, seared bonito (katsuo no tataki), sushi, and other dishes arranged on a large platter. It is served at gatherings in Kochi, including banquets and memorial services, and is a familiar feature of occasions attended by large groups.

There are no strict rules about what goes on the platter, but it generally combines three elements: sashimi, sushi, and assorted items known as kumimono, such as fried and simmered dishes.
