Nuta dresses blanched scallions, greens, seaweed, shellfish, squid or fish with a thick mixture of miso, vinegar, sugar and sometimes mustard.
History and local context
The preparation has been documented since at least the late medieval period and appears in many Japanese regions, including Hokkaido, Fukui and Yamaguchi; it is not exclusive to one prefecture.
How to enjoy it
Serve it cool as a small side dish, balancing the dressing so acidity and mustard do not overwhelm the main ingredient; drain blanched vegetables and seafood well before mixing.
