What the creator captured
Eater explored the intricate art of donabe cooking at n/soto, learning how delicate Tasmanian ocean trout and ichiban dashi create a comforting rice course. The host was particularly fascinated by the 'nukadoko' fermentation process, comparing the long-lived rice bran starter to a sourdough starter. The experience culminated in tasting a harmonious dish where the salty pop of ikura and fresh mitsuba balanced the rich, smoky flavors of the clay pot rice.
