Hansushi (くら sushi) in Japan has more than 400 branches to launch the Valentine's Day limited edition "Cocoa Sushi" for the first time. Many people suspect that "Is it adding chocolate to sushi?" In fact, the chocolate is poured into the fish pond and used as feed for the fish to eat. The fish grown is particularly sweet.
This limited edition "Cocoa Eagle Sushi" is available in branches all over Japan from February 1st to 14th, and each dish is always priced at 100 yen. What is curious is, will the fish grown up with chocolate taste chocolatey? The answer is no! But the taste may be fresher and sweeter
Use chocolate to feed the fish. It turned out to be a project jointly developed by Tibetan sushi and Ehime Prefecture Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Institute, and breeder Uwajima プロジェクト. They jointly studied how to improve the "preservation power" of cherry fish, and pursued that sushi would be kept on the redirection for a while, and it would not taste fresh and sweet until the guests could eat it. Finally, the powerful antioxidant effect of the chocolate containing the ingredients "coco polyphenols" made them realize that the preservation effect of mixing chocolate into the feed formula is so good!
From the photos of the fish meat experiment, it can be seen that even if the raw fish meat is placed for 5 days, the part of the blood (containing heme) remains rosy, indicating that the antioxidant ability of the fish grown up with chocolate is still amazing after death. This also means reducing the possibility of fish corruption during transportation, reducing costs for manufacturers, and making them more environmentally friendly.
I wonder if there are any domestic breeders who want to study it? Sometimes, the industrial chain that can be involved in eating rotary sushi is much more complicated than imagined.
