Chichibu Miso Potato

Freshly fried potatoes coated in a thick, sweet and savory miso sauce. The batter is crispy, while the inside remains fluffy. With just one bite, memories of nostalgic snacks come flooding back—this is Chichibu's soul food, Miso Potato. In Chichibu, where flat land is scarce, field farming has flourished since ancient times. It is said that the tradition began by roasting small harvested potatoes in an irori (sunken hearth) and spreading miso sauce over them. A light snack eaten during breaks from farm work has been called "Kojuhan" (small lunch) in Chichibu. Miso Potato is one such dish. It is a homemade taste where steamed potatoes are battered, fried, and topped with miso sauce. After winning the 2009 Saitama B-class Local Gourmet Championship, it surged in popularity. Please enjoy this simple and heartwarming flavor.
