Konarel is a fermented cafe where you can enjoy Nagahama Funazushi - a fermented food said to be the origin of sushi.

~ Funazushi of Nagahama, a traditional food said to be the origin of sushi ~ Did you know that? The origin of sushi is said to be in Shiga Prefecture. That is this "funazushi". Funazushi is made by salting Nigorobuna caught in Lake Biwa and fermenting it with rice for six months. The flavor is a unique lactic acid fermentation flavor, like a mixture of cheese, pickled plums, and vinegar kelp. Although it may not be to everyone's taste, it pairs very well with sake. I like alcohol, I want to eat food that I can't find anywhere else, I want to experience the origins of sushi, This is a recommended item for you. ◆Pairing sets with local sake are also available at Fermented Cafe & Bar Konarel (2,980 yen/person. Advance reservation required)
