Duck and fish - Kamonamasu

Japanese: 鴨鱠 - かもなます
Duck and fish - Kamonamasu

...In the early modern period, while cranes were highly prized by the samurai, ducks came to be considered an absolute delicacy by the common people, and the words duck and the taste of duck came to mean supreme feasts, pleasures, prey, good fortune, and so on. There are many duck dishes in Ihara Saikaku's works, but in Nihon Eitaigura, the words "Kamonamasu (duck fish) and cedar-grilled itari cuisine" are particularly noteworthy. Itari cuisine means elaborate and luxurious cuisine, and representative luxurious dishes were kamonamasu, in which the meat is cut into strips with the skin and fat removed, washed in warm sake and topped with wasabi vinegar, and cedar-grilled, in which salt is spread on the bottom of a cedar box and then set on the fire, in which miso is dissolved and duck, sea bream, tofu, green onions, water chestnuts, and yams are boiled and eaten. ...

*Some of the terminology that refers to "kamochi" is listed below.
