Matagi Cuisine
The Ani district in Kitaakita City is a village of hunting culture, often referred to as the ancestral home of Matagi hunters nationwide. Born from this mountain lifestyle is Matagi cuisine, which utilizes bear meat and wild mountain vegetables. Bear meat is slowly simmered over time and enjoyed in a miso-based soup paired with the bounties of the mountains. In fact, bear meat is precious even locally; unless you are in a Matagi household, it was a rare delicacy seldom tasted. It was a special dish that could only be enjoyed when prey was successfully hunted. The spirit of the Matagi—using every part of the mountain's blessings and showing gratitude for life—lives on in every single dish. These unique mountain flavors can be found at dining areas such as those in Uchiura Onsen. When you visit the nature of Ani, please come and experience a meal that is truly unique to this land.
