A type of kelp product. Kelp is sprinkled with vinegar, left to sit for about a day to soften it, and then shaved into threads. Thin strips of kelp are called oboro konbu. Although it is a handicraft, it has a long history, having been widely produced since the early Edo period. There are many processing factories in Tsuruga (Fukui Prefecture), Osaka City, and Kyoto City. There are two types of tororo konbu: black tororo and white tororo. Black tororo is made by stacking and squeezing several sheets of kelp that have been treated with vinegar, and then shaving the entire leaf into thin strips. White tororo is made by shaving the white core of the kelp after shaving the black part of the surface of the kelp to make black oboro. Makonbu, Mitsuishi konbu, and Risori konbu are used, and the flavor of the product varies depending on the ingredients. The moister the product, the better. In the past, it was shaved by hand with a knife, but now it is mostly shaved by machine. It can be used as is, wrapped around rice balls or boxed sushi, or placed in a bowl, poured over with hot water to remove the soy sauce, and used as a clear soup.

昆布加工品の一種。昆布に酢をふりかけて1日ぐらいねかせ、柔らかくし、糸状に削ったものである。帯状に薄く削ったものはおぼろ昆布という。手工業ではあるが、多くつくられるようになったのは江戸初期からで、歴史は古い。敦賀(つるが)(福井県)、大阪市、京都市などに加工工場が多い。とろろ昆布には黒とろろと白とろろがある。黒とろろは、酢で処理した昆布を幾枚も重ねて圧搾し、葉全体を細く削ったものである。白とろろは、昆布の表面の黒い部分を削って黒おぼろをつくったあとの、白い芯(しん)の部分を削ったものである。マコンブ、ミツイシコンブ、リシリコンブなどが用いられ、各材料によって製品の風味が異なる。しっとりした感じのものが良品である。以前は包丁を使って手で削っていたが、現在はほとんど機械で削っている。そのまま握り飯や箱ずしに巻いたり、椀(わん)に入れ、湯を注いでしょうゆを落とし、澄まし汁などにして用いる。 [河野友美・大滝 緑] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
