Hachimaki-maki

A dish where burdock root is rolled in eel and finished with a sweet and savory glaze. This is Hachimaki-maki, a local specialty originating from Kyoto's Hachiman. In the past, Hachiman (present-day Hachiman City) was a famous producer of burdock, and wild eel could be caught in nearby rivers. With pre-boiled burdock at the center, eel is wrapped around it and then either simmered or grilled with sauce to create a fragrant finish. When sliced, a beautiful swirl appears, showing the rich eel surrounding the moist, aromatic burdock. The flavor is an exquisite harmony between the earthy scent of the burdock and the sweet glaze of the eel. Recently, variations wrapped in beef, conger eel, or chicken have also become popular. It is a deeply flavorful roll that makes you want to keep reaching for your chopsticks, often found in Osechi (New Year's food) and Kyoto's Obanzai (traditional home cooking).
