A Tosa feast essential: A bold platter of snacks perfect for pairing with drinks
Sawachi Cuisine introduction
Sawachi Cuisine (皿鉢料理, Sawachi ryouri) is a vibrant and hearty local dish featuring an assortment of sashimi, seared bonito, sushi, and more, all artistically arranged on a large platter. It is a hallmark of gatherings in Kochi Prefecture, often served at celebrations, banquets, and even memorial services where large groups come together. While there are no strict rules about what to include, Sawachi Cuisine typically consists of three main elements: raw dishes like sashimi and sushi, fried items, and simmered dishes, collectively known as "Kumimono." This variety ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
