Originator Kawara soba “Takase” Immediately after arriving at Mojiko, I had the Kawara Soba Mentaiko Chazuke set (Yen 1,760 including tax) at the Originator Kawara Soba “Takase” on the 2nd floor of the Kaikyo Plaza West Building. Kawara soba is a local gourmet in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Kawara soba began in 1962 when Shinichi Takase, who ran an inn in Kawatana Onsen, Shimonoseki, offered it as a dish for guests. After that, Kawara soba became a specialty of Kawatana Onsen and is served not only in Shimonoseki City but also in Yamaguchi Prefecture as a whole. Shinichi Takase was inspired by the story of an old man who used tiles to bake and eat wild grass and meat during long field battles at the Satsuma Rebellion (1877), and developed Kawara soba. Kawara soba is served with beef, Kinshi-tamago (thin omelette cut into strips), seaweed, Momiji-oroshi (grated daikon and chili) , and lemon on top of tea soba.

Fukuoka’s local cuisine recommended in November

Fukuoka’s local cuisine recommended in November   Table of contents “100 selections of local dishes” “Mizutaki” “Game-ni” “Hakata Jidori” “Karashi-mantaiko”   “100 selections of local dishes” Fukuoka Prefecture’s local dishes recommended in November are “Mizutaki” and “Game-ni”. Both have been selected as one of the “100 Local Cuisine” by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. We can eat both “Mizutaki” and “Game-ni” all year round, but I think that the hot pot “Mizutaki” is more suitable for the cold season from November to March. https://www.maff.go.jp/j/nousin/kouryu/kyodo_ryouri/attach/pdf/190131-4.pdf “Mizutaki” “Mizutaki” is a dish in which chicken is boiled, the umami is brought out, and it is dipped in ponzu sauce. After eating the mizutaki ingredients, the porridge using the soup with the umami of various ingredients is really delicious. Personally, I like porridge and soup after hot pot cooking rather than eating hot pot ingredients. “Game-ni” “Game-ni” is a simmered dish of chicken, konjac, root vegetables, etc. seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, mirin, etc. It seems that the origin of the dish was the battlefield dish of the Kuroda clan in Fukuoka prefecture. Since the northern part of Fukuoka Prefecture was called “Chikuzen no Kuni”, it is also called “Chikuzen-ni” outside ofread moreFukuoka’s local cuisine recommended in November
