■“Everything may be a success, or everything may be a failure” (TOKIO Masahiro Matsuoka)

“The! Iron arm! DASH!!” (Nippon Television Network) will launch a new project to create the finest gift items using high-quality ingredients from DASH Island. In the first episode, which aired on November 24th, the participants tried to make “salt sea urchin”, one of Japan’s three major delicacies, using red sea urchin caught in the sea of the island, and presented the finished salt sea urchin to their senior colleague, Kenichi Endo! Will you be able to get the seal?

Meanwhile, in the “DASH Burger” project, which aims to become the best burger in the world, they infiltrate a Japanese burger competition. Learn tips for making delicious burgers.

■”There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while” (TOKIO Masahiro Matsuoka)
In late September, Shintaro Morimoto (SixTONES) dived into the sea off DASH Island and discovered something huge that would change the history of the island. “Wow! What is this! You want something like this!?” At a depth of 5 meters, we caught a gigantic red sea urchin that was 15 centimeters long and the size of the palm of your hand.

Upon receiving the report, my senior, Masahiro Matsuoka (TOKIO), was impressed and said, “This is the kind of thing that appears in sushi restaurants,” but he also said, “It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.” Coming out with plans. That is…to create the finest gifts using high-quality ingredients from DASH Island. As a first step, Matsuoka came up with the idea of making “salt sea urchin” using giant red sea urchin.

Salted sea urchin, one of Japan’s three major delicacies, has a long shelf life and increased flavor by drawing out the moisture from the sea urchin using the power of salt. Matsuoka immediately headed to Fukui, the home of salted sea urchin, to learn how to make it, and asked a professional with 60 years of experience to teach him. However, the Fukui salt sea urchin used is a smaller and richer sea urchin, which is the exact opposite of the large and watery red sea urchin from DASH Island. Still, Matsuoka, who brought back the traditional techniques he learned in Fukui to the island, says, “It may all be a success, or it may all be a failure.”

Then, I delivered the salted sea urchin I made to Kenichi Endo, my senior colleague, as a token of my gratitude for his continued support! Making DASH’s specialty “salt sea urchin” was a challenge that took a whole summer. Will I receive the approval of my seniors?
