福井県·郷土料理
Bokkake
Pour plenty of steaming hot broth over freshly cooked rice—this is the essence of "Bokkake." A hearty mixture of burdock root, carrot, fried tofu, konnyaku, and kamaboko is enveloped in the fragrant aroma of bonito dashi and soy sauce. As you eat it, the gentle sweetness of the root vegetables and the umami of the broth spread through your mouth, warming you to the core; it is a beloved local specialty of Fukui. The name originates from the action of "bukkakeru" (splashing or pouring) the hot broth over the rice. There is even an adorable legend that the dish was so delicious, hosts would chase after guests who were trying to leave just to keep them eating. With the ingredients clinging to every grain of rice, each bite offers a comforting taste. Ingredients and seasonings vary by region and household, making the unique variations part of the fun. It is a warm Fukui feast that you will find yourself craving especially on cold days.
