Mt. Fuji has long been a popular destination for visitors from overseas. The area around the foot of the mountain deserves a closer look, as well, for its rich natural features and outstanding food culture. For this two-part installment of Cook Around Japan, our host Yu Hayami will be visiting Yamanashi and Shizuoka, the prefectures that border Mt. Fuji. In this second episode, we’ll be visiting Shizuoka's Suruga Bay, one of Japan’s preeminent fishing destinations, to enjoy the area’s incredible seafood. We’ll try Shizuoka oden featuring hanpen fish cake made with fresh horse mackerel and sardines, as well as a famous local chef’s luxurious twist on agedashi nasu (Deep-fried Eggplant) that shines a spotlight on delicious dashi made with bonito flakes, a key part of Japanese cuisine. Don't miss this great look at outstanding local seafood dishes!
