KURAGE Appetizer (Jelly Fish)

Echizen kurage (Nomura’s jellyfish) invade the Sea of Japan each autmun, seriously disrupting fishing operations. The giant jellyfish can grow up to 2 meters wide and weigh up to 200 kilograms (450 lbs) each. One nice thing about this giant sea manace they taste nice too ;). Here is a simple contribution of mine to my fellow Japanese friends, to helping control the numbers of this sea monsters.
