Tsumiire are fish patties that are usually served in a clear soup or accompanied by boiled vegetables. The meatballs should be shaped by hand and dipped into the broth (or boiling water) immediately after being prepared.
This traditional homemade dish has been around for centuries, and each region of Japan has its own recipes based on locally available fish varieties.

Carbon footprint



To limit our impact on the environment, we advise you to remain within 1 kg CO2-equivalent per meal, including all the courses you eat. Bear in mind that plant-based dishes are more likely to have a low environmental impact.

Even though some of our suggestions exceed the recommended 1 kg CO2-equivalent per meal, that doesn't mean you should never make them; it's the overall balance that counts. Regularly eating a healthy and eco-friendly diet in the long term offsets even the dishes with the most impact, as long as you don't make them too often.
