Nitsuke

Nitsuke is a fish boiled with soy sauce, sake and sugar. Japanese people often boil a sea bream or a right eye flounder as Nitsuke. The important point of cooking Nitsuke is time for boiling a fish. We should simmer a fish on a low heat for over ten minutes. If you gently wrap a fish with a cooking sheet cut into a circle for simmer, a fish will be more flavorful.
Vegetables are put on a boiled fish before served. They show it to more pretty and attractive. I would like to recommend to put rape blossoms in the current season. You had better boil rape blossoms with a few salt separately from Nitsuke. If rape blossoms is put on Nitsuke, we feel Spring come.
