History and Origins

"Almad" is an egg - bearing figure from the plains that were based on foreign trade until the early Edo. It is characterized by the pink color of the cross section of the egg so that it will be boiled in a soup. Basically, it's a masterpiece from Shirado, but it's called "Alid" because it's not a single character in Sakura. In Nagasaki, it's like a dragon's eye, so it's called "dragon's Eye." Each one is a local one. It is said that the name "Almad" comes from the Dutch word "Almatore" or "Almardo" in Portuguese. In Sachiko, the theory is that a missionary named Ariam was invented as a nutritious food.

When It Is Eaten

Since the eggs are red when cut in two, they have been known as the best items to be placed on the feast table, such as the New Year's Eve. On the other hand, since there are regular sales in local store stores, there are increasing opportunities for regular dining-rooms in recent years.

How It Is Eaten

Cut into two or four pieces and place it on a plate in a shape that shows the dragon-like cross section. When you eat, you can either keep it or add the flavor you like. In recent years, it has been used as a tool for silk.
