Speaking of things that the name and the appearance of the character stand in the pot thing, Akita's local cuisine "Kiritanpo hot pot"! However, from the perspective of people outside the prefecture, the food “Kiritanpo” is full of mystery. What does it mean to crush cooked rice and turn it into a bowl? Why has that old-fashioned food been supported for a long time? So we went to the birthplace of Kiritandanobe, Akita and Kazuno, and interviewed the obsession with the pot and the essential ingredients, Kiritanpo!
The city of Akaoka, Kakaku, is the birthplace of "Kiritanpo hot pot"
First of all, try eating a delicious hot pot!
The first aim is to have a store in the corner of the No. 1 Kiritanpo hot pot. I visited "Salon de Cicada Mifuji". Teruko Kato, her daughter, took over a local restaurant in Shirokoma that her mother started for 38 years. People come from all over the country looking for the pot of this shop.

"The beginning of the dandelion seems to have been a meal for Yamako (the person who cuts out a tree from the mountain). The cook in charge holds the remaining rice in a bowl and stabs it in the wall of the hut, and it is air-dried. It would have been better digestion if you smashed the rice, "said Kato. It's not an omission to call it "Tanpo". The cut ones are "Kiri (cut)". Local people use it properly.
The miso-flavoured "miso-flavored" which has been baked with miso paste is also popular as a snack of deer horns
In the pot are the hiuchi chicken, seri, green onion, burdock, mushrooms, and string konjak. "There is a copper mine in deer horn, and a lot of people gathered from Meiji to Showa. The reason that konnyaku came to enter was because it was" sand grated "(detoxification). Because chicken meat becomes hard at stores in the prefecture It seems that there are places where konnyaku will not be put, but considering the history of this area, it is a food that can not be removed by humans in deer horns. "
The pot is ready! The nasal cavity spreads to the smell of the fat of Uchiuchi chicken. Body and heart are warm and warm with a thick soup! "It's delicious that the soup and rice in the" hole "of the dandelion enter the mouth together. It has a taste unlike any of risotto and udon," she proudly says. The baby who sucks the soup and swells has a moderately thick body. The reason why Mr. Yanagida is particular about the fineness of the dandelion has finally fallen into the trap.

Kiritanipanabe was a dish of Halle celebrating rice harvest
The deer horn is a basin surrounded by mountains, where you can see the mountain from anywhere in the city, and there is a springing place in the center of the city. In the middle of October 2018, when I interviewed, it was the harvest time of rice, and the city was shining with rice ears. If the water is so clean, the rice will be delicious and, of course, the taste of Kiritanpo should be different.

"In the past, my mother in the neighborhood leaned on and grabbed the dandelion with freshly harvested rice. Now there are almost no people to make it because there is no hearth to burn the dandelion. The practice to celebrate that rice is done is still there, "said Atsuko Yanagida, the owner of Kiritanpo's specialty store" Yanita Kiritanpo ". What a meal in the late autumn Halle area in this area!

Seri raised in clear water makes a delicious pot

Seri's bitterness and sweetness are the next most important tastes of the Tanpo in Kiritanpo. "Once it snows, the harvest of seri is over," says Ogasawara Yoshiko, who grows seri in that mountainous village separated by about 50 by car from deer horn. Mr. Ogasawara's Seri is also very popular in the eateries of deer horns.
Ogasawara's Seri field
The main reason for the taste is that the water drawn into the Seri field is spring water from the mountain. "There's no river water coming in. There were no bugs in the field this year." It was impressive to see the willingness to set up a house by the winter of 2019.

If you eat Kiritanpo hot pot, check before entering the store!
Kiritanipanabe can be eaten all year round in pubs and cafeterias in Kazuno city. However, please be aware that there are many shops that you can not offer if you run out of food because it is a casual shop that has a long life.
Therefore, the hotel man in the destination told me that it would be safe to say a single voice before entering any store. From such an episode, I can feel the endless affection of the people in the deer horns to the Kiritanipane.
In the blue sky city that has continued since the Edo period, I feel familiar with life of deer horn
It's Akita Prefecture, but it's close to Iwate, with the influence of the southern area being strong in Shikakane City. During the Shosei period, a castle hall was placed, and there is a history that has developed along the Kadokane Highway. The train started to pass through this town in 1923, since the establishment of Shikagachihana Station, so it seems that the city still has a strong impression of the Edo period.
It can be said that the symbol is "City Day", which is held on the 3rd and 8th every month with a wreath. Is this a city that has been around since the beginning of Edo? The blue sky city where semi-professional and professional producers gather, such as a good cooking mother and a dad who is good at mushroom hunting, is crowded with people from morning. It seems that there are many shopkeepers from the suburbs, and locals seem to be enjoying regular meetings.
Blue sky city is the best if you want to experience putting on a moment while foreigners who can not understand the foreigners go out of the prefecture! If you look at the things of the mountains in the street stalls and the things of the sea, you can feel the life of the mountains, such as "a dried fish seems to be popular for local customers living inland". In addition, the snow-covered roof "Komose", which has been designed for a long time, is also a scenery of life unique to this area.
The deer horn that I visited in search of "Kiritanpo hot pot" was able to learn not only the food culture but also the rich wisdom of wisdom for overcoming the long-lasting winter of northeastern north.
