The world of "Dried Small Fish"

[Big Booger]

We, Japanese like eating dried small fish. There are many kinds of dishes made from dried small fish in Japan and there are also many kinds of dried small fish like following:

"Tazukuri" which is made from small (about 4.5 cm) anchovy (Engraulis), not boiled one.

We like eating all items mentioned above but especially "Chirimen" is most popular in the Japanese market. The total amount of production in Japan is about fifty thousand to one hundred thousand metric tons per one year. However, this is not good enough for the Japanese market. So, we are importing about five thousand of Chirimen per every year from overseas. Today, we are importing Chirimen from Indonesia, China, Thailand and Korea and still looking for other countries where can produce Chirimen.
