Hittsumi
The kneaded wheat flour is pulled, torn, and dropped into the simmering broth. The smooth pieces of dough coat themselves in a soy-based dashi, creating a chewy texture—Hittsumi from Iwate is a dish that warms you to your very core. The name is said to come from the local dialect 'hittsumamu,' which means to pinch or tear with one's fingers. Because winters in the inland parts of the prefecture are severe and there were years when rice could not be harvested, wheat and buckwheat have supported the local diet since ancient times. Hittsumi is one of the dishes born from such wisdom of daily living. Ingredients may include chicken, mushrooms, or depending on the region, even river crab. It is a hometown soup with flavors that vary from household to household.
