...In later times, Hiroshima's cultivated oysters had become so popular that it was said that "all the food eaten in the Kinai region comes from Hiroshima in Aki Province, and is a particularly fine product" (Nihon Sankai Meisan Zue). By the way, cedar grilling is a method of smearing salt and seaweed on the bottom of a cedar box, heating it over a fire, dissolving miso in the box, and boiling fish, poultry, and vegetables. The oyster dot-grilled dish (also called dotenabe) that is popular today can be said to be a simplified version of this dish. Kakibune [Suzuki Shinichi]
