Hello! This is Tenbusu Organic Market☆

Today, we introduce “Traditional Sardine Fish Balls!,” a nostalgic taste where the traditions of Yaizu—the town of fish—come alive. In the past, it was a common sight in Yaizu for families to use whole small fish caught in Suruga Bay to make fish balls using a mortar at home. This special product recreates the charm of Yaizu's seafood, which is said to have been loved even by the writer Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo).

Our biggest commitment is carefully grinding domestic Japanese sardines, bones and all, using a stone mill. By using the whole fish, we draw out the powerful umami and nutrients that the fish naturally possesses. Instead of egg whites, we use tofu and miso—traditional wisdom for binding. This results in fish balls that have a firm, satisfying bite yet a gentle flavor that deepens with every chew.

Of course, we use no additives such as preservatives, flavor enhancers, phosphates, or antioxidants. Because it is a pure deliciousness that brings out the best of the ingredients through artisanal skill, it can be enjoyed with peace of mind by everyone from children to the elderly.

When added to clear soups or hot pots, the umami of the fish melts into the broth, creating an exquisite feast. They are also perfect for lunch boxes as they remain delicious even when cold. This is a traditional flavor that colors the winter dining table, available only for a limited time from September to April. Please experience the authentic taste of fish balls packed with the blessings of nature.
