Botan Nabe (Kameoka)
This is a nutritious winter hot pot provided by the bounty of the Tanba mountains during the cold season. Botan Nabe is a traditional dish passed down in the Tanba region, including Kameoka, where wild boar is simmered in a miso-based broth. Its roots lie in the neighboring Tanba-Sasayama; it is said that during the Meiji era, people began eating wild boar caught during training in a miso soup style. It was originally called 'Ino-nabe' (Boar Pot), and the name 'Botan Nabe' (Peony Pot) only became widespread during the Showa era. The beautiful presentation, where the meat is arranged like a flower on the plate, was reportedly an innovation added later to live up to its name. The savory flavor of the wild boar and the sweetness of the vegetables meld perfectly with the white or red miso broth. It is a true winter delicacy of Tanba that warms you to the core.
