Gassan Sansai Soba
This is the 'Gassan Sansai Soba,' a local specialty of Nishikawa Town, Yamagata Prefecture. It was created over 30 years ago as a pioneer of regional gourmet cuisine. This soba combines the region's natural resources—wild mountain vegetables—with noodles made using spring water from the foot of Mount Gassan. It was developed through trial and error between the owner of a long-established wild vegetable restaurant and noodle makers. The characteristic way to enjoy it is by placing freshly boiled noodles into an iron pot filled with plenty of seasonal wild vegetables and mushrooms. The soba itself is a thick, dark, rustic style made with stone-ground flour and kneaded with the spring water of Mt. Gassan, offering a satisfying chewy texture. It is a flavor unique to Nishikawa Town, which proudly calls itself the 'Wild Vegetable and Mushroom Kingdom.' We highly recommend it as a well-deserved reward after trekking Mount Gassan.
