Bungo Beppu Bay Chirimen (Sun-dried whitebait)
Rich in calcium, protein and iron
About Bungo Beppu Bay Chirimen (Sun-dried whitebait)
Shirasu (whitebait) is one of Beppu Bay’s natural gifts. Shirasu fishing has long flourished in Hiji Town, where the catch is dried in the sun to make chirimen, a local specialty shipped throughout Japan.
Shirasu is rich in calcium and is commonly served as niboshi (dried sardines) or kama-age (lightly boiled whitebait). But eating freshly caught nama chirimen (fresh, undried whitebait) lets its briny aroma shine.
