Toyama, named one of the best places to go now by the New York Times, U.S.A.
This is a specialty of Toyama Prefecture and is not available anywhere else.
Masu Sushi is a type of pressed sushi made with salted and seasoned trout.
The bottom of the wooden “wappa” is lined with bamboo grass, the salted and seasoned trout fillets are placed on the bamboo grass, the vinegared rice is pressed into the trout, the bamboo grass is folded over and wrapped, and a weight is placed on the trout.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
