Different regions have their own traditional recipes and agricultural farming system. Many of the regional dishes can only be tasted in the original area they came from.
Dekomawashi
Also known as “grilled skewer,” this traditional Iya Valley dish comes from Miyoshi City. It is a simple skewered Iya potatoes, tofu and kojac dipped into miso-dare (a sauce made with miso paste) and grilled over the fire in the irori. The shape of the ingredients resembles a deko puppet (puppet used in a Japanese traditional puppet show), that is why it is called dekomawashi. Often paired with river fish, dekomawashi is sweet and savory (Image via Setouchi Finder).
Naruto Kintoki
A local sweet potato grown in sandy soil, Naruto kintoki is famous for its vibrant red skin and sweetness. Locals use it to make savory beer snacks, sweet desserts, and several side dishes. The most famous variety, kintoki-imo (golden potato), comes from Naruto City and is named after the Japanese folk hero Kintaro the golden boy. These have a fluffy texture and high sugar content for extra sweetness.
