What is [Okayama Barazushi]?

Okayama Barazushi is a gorgeous sushi made with seafood from the Seto Inland Sea and seasonal vegetables. During the Edo period, Mitsumasa Ikeda, the first lord of the Bizen Okayama domain, encouraged frugality and issued a frugal edict that ``meals should include one soup and one dish.'' It is said that the common people rebelled against this and began eating fish and vegetables on top of rice as ``rose sushi,'' saying ``one dish is one dish even if you put it on top of rice.'' Nowadays, it is loved by the people of the prefecture as a local sushi eaten on special occasions such as festivals and celebrations.

It is a luxurious new specialty that is particular about its appearance, using black beans to represent the black walls of the castle tower, and gold powder and yellow chives to represent the golden tiles and shachihoko.
