Nayoro Nikomi Jingisukan (Nayoro Stewed Genghis Khan)
If you think Genghis Khan (lamb BBQ) is only meant to be grilled, you will be surprised in Nayoro. Nayoro Nikomi Jingisukan involves stewing mutton and plenty of vegetables in a rich sauce, and the authentic Nayoro way is to eat it together with udon noodles. It is a local dish that has been loved in households for over half a century. Its roots are said to trace back to 1937, when a woman who learned the Genghis Khan cooking method in Takikawa spread it to local farmers. The stewed style began when noodles were added to prevent the sauce—which had a high ratio of liquid—from overflowing the pot. This single-pot dish, uniquely nurtured in the northern lands, has also been certified as a '100-Year Food' by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Even in the cold winters, the people of Nayoro gather around this Genghis Khan to warm their bodies.
