Izumo soba - NINJA KOTAN

Summary of February itinerary in Japan (Hyogo, Tottori, Shimane trip) I traveled to Hyogo, Tottori, and Shimane prefectures from Wednesday, February 23rd to Sunday, February 27th. I was able to eat a lot of seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes, and I was able to visit wonderful tourist destinations such as national treasures and national important cultural properties on this trip. Since this trip was mainly on the Sea of Japan side of Hyogo, Tottori, and Shimane prefectures, I was able to enjoy the fresh seafood of the Sea of Japan such as live snow crab. In addition, I was able to fully eat food of the mountains such as “Botan nabe (wild boar meat hot pot)”. This is the February Japanese itinerary that I highly recommend to everyone. Here is a summary of this trip and some notes. I will comment repeatedly every time, but this itinerary was also created with the purpose of “eating out seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes.” Food is the highest priority, and tourist destinations are the second priority. However, we aimed to visit as many tourist spots as possible, such as national treasures and national important cultural properties.

Ekiben / Gozaemon Bento I bought the ekiben “Gozaemon Bento”, “Tofu Chikuwa”, and “Ago-noyaki” and ate them on the train from Yonago Station to Shinji Station. Originally, there was an ekiben sales place inside Yonago Station, but it closed in September 2020 due to the renovation work of the Yonago Station building. Now, tourist buy ekiben at “Souvenir Rakuichi”, which is a little outside of Yonago Station. “Gozaemon Bento” (Yen 1,400) is a luxurious bento that contains Sanin’s famous Gozaemon sushi, Daisen Okowa, and crab chirashi-zushi.

Shimane’s local cuisine recommended in November Table of contents “100 selections of local dishes” “Shijimi (corb shell) soup” “Izumo soba” “Shinjiko-Shicchin” “Akaten in Hamada” The recommended local dish of Shimane prefecture in November is “Izumo soba”. It’s the season for new soba. “100 selections of local dishes” “Izumo soba” and “Shijimi (corb shell) soup” are selected from Shimane prefecture as “100 selections of local dishes” by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Both can be eaten all year round. However, if you dare to choose a delicious time, “Izumo soba” is the season for new soba in November and December, and “Shijimi soup” is the time for “Doyo shijimi” (around July) and the time for “Kan shijimi” (January-March). https://www.maff.go.jp/j/nousin/kouryu/kyodo_ryouri/attach/pdf/190131-2.pdf “Shijimi (corb shell) soup” Shimane Prefecture is the largest catch of “Shijimi” in Japan. Lake Shinji is the 7th largest lake in Japan, but the production of “Shijimi” is the largest in Japan. “Izumo soba” “Izumo soba” is one of the three major soba noodles in Japan, along with “Wanko soba” in Iwate prefecture and “Togakushi soba” in Nagano prefecture.
