Historyedit
Himono is the traditional method of preparing dried fish in Japan. Before the use of modern refrigeration, storage, and logistical technology, this method of preparing and preserving dried fish was popular in the country.[4][5]
Over the next few centuries, in particular during the Edo period (1603-1868), as the general population's standard of living improved, the affluent inland civilians began consuming himono as a luxury cuisine item. Fish dried and prepared in the coastal towns was sold in Edo and other inland towns where people embraced it as part of their regular diet.[4]
