Aizu Miso Dengaku
Over the charcoal fire of an irori (sunken hearth), the skewers of dengaku grill to a fragrant perfection. As the miso sauce begins to bubble and a sweet aroma rises, it becomes impossible to wait. Aizu Miso Dengaku is a dish where konnyaku, namaage (deep-fried tofu), freshly pounded round mochi, taro, and dried shinano herring are individually coated with a secret miso sauce and grilled over charcoal. The miso sauce, made by kneading sugar, yuzu, junen (perilla), and sansho pepper into red miso, offers an indescribably deep flavor. The bouncy konnyaku, chewy mochi, and fluffy taro—combined with the savory aroma of toasted miso—are reputed to be so delicious that you could eat them endlessly. It is a simple, nostalgic taste of Aizu.
