I've lately discovered a tasty dish called Nishin Soba which is normal soba (buckwheat noodles, whatever those are) with a particular kind of fish, nishin, on top.
Looking it up, I see that nishin is herring (whatever that is).
It's all together in a hot or cold soup. (I prefer hot, even in summer.) The way the fish is grilled and prepared for the noodles is, well, I don't know how to describe it other than “super yummy”.
Anyway, the picture here is of a store-bought package of the fish we had at home. I thought that the little symbol in the corner was cute. Can you understand what it means, even if you can't read the Japanese below it?

Could you figure it out?
Nishin Soba is my favorite at the SF Japantown noodle place. Mifune
They also have hot or cold freshly made soba. I usually order double the Nishin 🙂
“it’s ok to eat the bone” cause it’s yummy !!
