Inuyama Skewer Gourmet
As you stroll through the castle town, which retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, savory aromas waft from every direction. From the skewers in your hand, you'll encounter the sweet scent of miso dengaku, the toasted aroma of Gohei-mochi, and colorful, vibrant kushikatsu—Inuyama is truly a 'town of skewer gourmet.' The roots of this culture of eating food on sticks can be traced back to the Dengaku practiced in the castle town. That tradition has spread across time, and today, famous specialties that can be enjoyed with one hand—such as dengaku, Gohei-mochi, and kushikatsu—line the streets. Whether it's a single skewer enjoyed in front of a shop registered as a National Tangible Cultural Property, or visually stunning kushikatsu coated in colorful five-colored arare, you can sample your favorite treats bit by bit while walking. Eating your way through the town while gazing up at Inuyama Castle is a feast in itself. Which skewer shall we start with today?
