I liked a lot this last newsletter, Sho, particularly the niboshi bit.
I have been waiting for a chance to make niboshi since you shared your recipe a while ago, but it is a bit hard to find small fresh anchovies where I am.
Anyway, I was wondering what kind of food safety issue you are afraid of exactly? It may be another anecdote, but my father-in-law has been making experiments with dry fish for 30+ years without any problems.
Hmm. I see. My father-in-law is always making salted products like karasumi, shiokara, and all sorts of salted fish, so perhaps that's why nobody died...!

Something about not salting the fish before drying makes me a little leery, especially if you're using temperatures that aren't precise?
