Myojinmaru Matsuyama Nibancho Store

Nationwide, bonito tataki was mainly eaten with ponzu sauce, but at Myojinmaru, we have been particular about eating bonito grilled with straw and seasoned with sun-dried salt from the beginning, following the authentic Tosa style. It became popular at the first store of Myojinmaru, the Hirome Market Store, and was featured in media and became a rumor, and now straw grilled bonito salt tataki can be enjoyed at various restaurants across the country. As the original, we will continue to uphold the authentic taste and commitment.

Straw has a very strong heat, and the combustion temperature can reach about 1000 degrees, allowing it to instantly grill the surface of the bonito evenly. Moreover, the smoke and aroma of the straw enhance the flavor even more. Myojinmaru's straw-grilled salt tataki is committed to 'grilling and cutting' which starts grilling with straw only after the order is placed. The skin of the bonito is quickly seared until crispy, and before the heat penetrates inside, it is immediately cut while still hot, creating a fragrant aroma that whets the appetite, making it the best way to enjoy bonito tataki.

The excellent supporting role that makes delicious bonito even more delicious is the 'sun-dried salt from Kuroshio Town, Kochi Prefecture.' The salt artisans of Kuroshio Town draw seawater and create sun-dried salt without any heating process, using only the heat of the sun and the power of the natural wind. The deep flavor of the salt enhances the umami of the bonito.

At Myojinmaru, we are particular about using well-dried, high-quality straw known as 'Kochi straw' for straw burning. Since the beginning, we have built relationships with farmers in Kochi Prefecture to secure straw, but as the farmers age, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain straw each year. Therefore, we established the agricultural business Myojin Farm and are working to secure high-quality straw by growing our own rice.
