Misawa Paika Cuisine
This is a local Misawa gourmet specialty featuring 'Paika' (pork belly cartilage) simmered until tender. Paika refers to the cartilaginous part remaining after blocks of pork belly are sliced. In the past, this part was often discarded, but locals thought, 'What a waste, couldn't we make this a Misawa specialty?' Through local ingenuity, it was launched as a stewed dish in 2006. Today, it can be enjoyed through various dishes including hot pots, ramen, and curry. Rich in collagen, it features jiggly cartilage and the savory flavor of the surrounding meat. It is a unique Misawa gourmet specialty loved by locals. This slow-simmered dish represents the wisdom born from living in a cold region.
