Jibuni
The thick, velvety sauce melts in your mouth. The savory richness of the duck paired with the tenderness of the sudare-fu, which has soaked up the flavorful broth—Jibuni is a bowl that represents the essence of Kaga cuisine. Its defining characteristic is coating the duck in flour before simmering; this flour locks in the umami and gives the sauce a pleasant thickness. The sudare-fu and seasonal vegetables also become soft, saturated with dashi. It is said to have been eaten since at least the Edo period, though the origin of its name remains uncertain, with various theories ranging from the name Okabe Jibuemon to the sound of 'jibu-jibu' simmering. Take a bite, accompanied by just a hint of wasabi. It is a gentle flavor that warms you deeply from within during the cold Kanazawa winter.
