Kurozukuri is Toyama's black shiokara. Skinned Japanese flying squid is sliced thin and mixed with its salted liver and its ink, then stirred once a day while it ages in the refrigerator. It once aged for about a month with more salt; today's milder kind is ready in one to two weeks.

Kurozukuri is Toyama's black shiokara. Skinned Japanese flying squid is sliced thin and mixed with its salted liver and its ink, then stirred once a day while it ages in the refrigerator. It once aged for about a month with more salt; today's milder kind is ready in one to two weeks. Made in 4 steps over 24 h – 30 days. The longest step, age in the refrigerator, stirring once a day, takes 24 h – 30 days (MAFF Japan) and runs at 10 °C (Yokoi K 2013). Salt is 6 % (Yokoi K 2013). Staphylococcus saprophyticus dominant in a sample thought close to the traditional type, with Latilactobacillus sakei and Weissella paramesenteroides dominant in a lactic-type sample, with Tetragenococcus halophilus do most of the fermenting.
Said to date from the Genroku era; by the Kyōhō era it was made as it is today. A Kaga lord offered it to the shogunate as a Toyama specialty, and a letter of 1808 (Bunka 5) in the Kirisawa library at Namerikawa names it. In the 1990s most of the 300 tons of shiokara made each year in Toyama was kurozukuri.
