Iwashi no ume shouga ni（イワシの梅生姜煮）
What kind of food is Iwashi no ume shouga ni??
sardines = iwashi plum = ume ginger = shoga
I boiled sardines, plums and ginger in soy sauce. It’s a sweet and salty flavor with impact. （You can use same amount of seasoning even though you make it double the amount of fish.）
The unsaturated fatty acids IPA and DHA contained in sardines are said to help prevent lifestyle-related diseases such as arteriosclerosis.
Since it is cooked in a pressure cooker, even the bones can be eaten. This way you can get calcium. I use a T-fal “Clipso Minut Easy” pressure cooker. The content is 4.5L.

Umeboshi and ginger have an appetite-stimulating effect. The menu is rich in nutritional content that is good for the body, so it is often eaten during the hot summer months.
Pickled plum is called “umeboshi” in Japanese. There are sweet ones with honey and ones with bonito flakes. This time I used “shiso ume“. Shiso ume is made only green shiso leaf and salt.
About Setsubun
Setsubun is an event to ward off evil spirits and pray for good health. In Japan, people throw beans and eat sardines and sushi rolls on the day before the first day of spring.
The most popular method to ward off evil spirits is bean-throwing. Beans are a symbol of the five grains (rice, wheat, millet, millet, and beans), and the Japanese, who are an agricultural people, believed that gods resided in these grains.
Recently, it has become common to eat sushi rolls called ehomaki（恵方巻き) on Setsubun. This is the result of the corporate efforts of the sushi roll manufacturing company. It is said that your wish will come true if you face the lucky direction and eat the entire roll of sushi in silence.
The sushi rolls are seen as a weapon forgotten by demons, and eating the sushi rolls also has the meaning of exterminating demons. It is said that it is best to add seven toppings to the sushi roll, in honor of the Seven Gods of Fortune.
Another unusual method of warding off evil spirits is to display sardines stuck in holly at the entrance of the house. This is because it was thought that demons disliked ”thorn-like holly leaves” and ”the unique smell of sardines.” Instead of this method, sardines are often eaten on Setsubun. The recipes introduced this time are also recommended.
