Kakinoha-Sushi Hiraso (柿の葉寿司 平宗)
Nara is far from being a port city: deep in inland Kansai, seafood took a while to be transported there during the Edo era (1603-1868). This was reflected in the taste and quality of the fish – preserved in rice, salt and sometimes even vinegar, the fish arrived too salty and inedible. This is where the persimmon leaf comes in: it’s used to wrap the sushi and maintain the taste. And in addition to its role of conservation, it also has anti-bacterial properties! Perfection in a leaf! It’s not edible however, and is only intended to pack and protect the sushi. However, it infuses it with its slightly sweet aroma.
