Kohada Nigiri Sushi (Japan)

Kohada nigiri sushi is a traditional Japanese type of nigiri sushi. Hand-pressed sushi rice topped with slices of kohada or shad consists of a silver-skinned fish that is inexpensive and often used for sushi. Fish is typically salted and marinated with vinegar, which brings out their umami flavor.

A shad that reaches about 2,75 to 393 inches in length is called a kohada. Shinko denotes the small shad, while nakazumi denotes the fully grown shad. It is recommended to prepare the kohada nigiri sushi from November to January, when the fish gets a little oilier.

Before serving, kohada nigiri sushi is usually topped with oboro (shrimp paste).

Fish cakes are usually shaped into long and thin cylindrical forms, but are sometimes flattened into thick, round discs. Although they can be eaten immediately after frying, Taiwanese traditionally boil them over low heat in a soy sauce-based broth, which softens the crunchy crust and infuses the cake with all the tangy broth flavors. Fried and boiled versions are often served in traditional Taiwanese restaurants alongside other deep-fried treats such as fish cakes or tofu. It is served in bowls and covered in a sticky brown sauce made from chili paste, soy sauce, miso soup, and sugar.
