clear seafood soup; ushio-jiru
A traditional Japanese clear soup made by simmering fish or shellfish in water with salt, often with kombu. The name comes from the seawater-like broth.
Ushio-jiru is delicious with its clear broth made from sea bream bones.
潮 (ushio) means 'tide' or 'seawater', referring to the salty broth; 汁 (jiru) means 'soup'. The dish is named for its simple seawater-like flavor.
