Choosing a meal in Chiba
Namerou is chopped fish mixed with miso and aromatics, not sliced sashimi, and the fish used can vary. Check which fish a restaurant uses, and save Chiba’s peanut sweets for later.
Tips for choosing a restaurant
If you see namerou on a seafood menu, ask which fish is used. This chopped fish dish includes miso and aromatics, so the flavour varies with the ingredients.
What else could you see nearby?
On a short layover at Narita Airport, Naritasan Shinshoji is the more practical outing. The Boso coast takes another journey, so give it a proper day if the sea is what you came to see.
