Mamebu-jiru

Mamebu-jiru is a local dish from Yamagata Town, Kuji City, that rose to sudden fame through the NHK morning drama series 'Amachan'. In a soy sauce-based broth flavored with dried sardines and kombu, vegetables and grilled tofu are simmered along with small dumplings called 'mamebu', which are filled with walnuts and brown sugar. With one bite, a mysterious flavor of 'salty yet sweet' spreads through the mouth, creating an oddly addictive taste. It is also said that the name carries a wish for people to 'live faithfully (mame) in health and vigor.' A highly accomplished dish that even won 5th place nationwide in the B-1 Grand Prix. It is a bowl of soup passed down through the households of Kuji, warming both the heart and the body.
