Tekone-Sushi originated here in Shima - known historically for providing many of the ingredients used in the food the Emperor ate in ancient Japan.It is said this dish was ﬁrst created by local ﬁshermen who sliced their freshly caught ﬁsh and mixed it with rice.  Now Tekone-Sushi is readily available at many local restaurants all with their own variations. We encourage you try them all during your visit.

The authentic local cuisine of Shima originated in Miketsu-kuni.Miketsu-kuni is the area from which local seafood such as abalone and natural salt was oﬀ ered to the Imperial court of Japan in ancient times. Shima refers to the area which forms the southern part of Mie prefecture.The origin of the cuisine is said to go back to the days when local fishermen at sea on their fishing boats prepared ﬁ sh for themselves, and mixed it with steamed rice.`Tekone-zushi’ has now become a major local dish with which to entertain visitors.There is an enormous variety of tastes and ﬂ avors to be found in the food available at local restaurants. We do hope that you will take the time to discover the culinary delights that they have to oﬀ er.
Shima-city has long been known as the `ryoshi-no-machi,’ a village of ﬁ shermen. In the old days, the men went to sea and spent long hectic days working with the nets and ﬁ shing; and, even today, there are many such men living in this city. As we can imagine they eat their meals at sea, and it is said that the unique `tekone-zushi’ was created by them to facilitate eating while on the water.
This story was told to us by a local ﬁ sherman:“We’re incredibly busy, even between jobs. And, it’
s always so troublesome to eat sashimi piece by piece, dipping each mouthful in soy sauce before we eat it. What could we do? Well, we thought about soaking the ﬁ sh in the soy sauce ﬁ rst. But then, we also thought about mixing it with the rice. Wait a minute! It shouldn’t just be rice, but rather vinegared rice. That would be much better. It would keep longer. Then, we could make instant sushi!” So, that’s how `tekone-zushi’ was invented.
It was a type of sushi, in which ﬁ sh, rice and soy sauce is mixed by hands. People soon began to refer to this kind of sushi as `tekone.’ With such a story behind it, Shima-no-tekone-zushi has become a local favorite and is always served at special occasions, such as memorable family events or when entertaining guests.
The recipes for tekone-zushi and its ingredients vary region by region. With such a variety available, it is part of our enjoyment of life to savor each local recipe.
In this brochure, 20 restaurants in Shima-city have been chosen and selectively listed. We hope that you will plan a gourmet tour and visit them and enjoy tasting our traditional local cuisine with its unique taste and ﬂ avors.

It’s really tasty!Why not try once?
