Botan Nabe (Kyotamba)
With wild boar meat arranged beautifully like peony flowers in a bubbling pot—this is 'Botan Nabe,' a dish that colors the winter of Tanba. This local specialty, simmered in a hot miso-based broth, warms you to the core during the cold season. It is said to have originated in the Meiji era, when soldiers stationed in Tanba Sasayama added wild boar meat they had caught into miso soup. Eventually, the practice of arranging the meat beautifully like peony flowers (botan) was born, giving the dish its name. Today, it is a seasonal tradition throughout the Tanba area. Sharing this pot with family and friends brings warmth to even the coldest nights. Simmering the meat in a white miso-based broth eliminates any gamey odor, leaving only a rich, nutritious umami. Please enjoy the bounty of the Kyotamba mountains in this warm hot pot.
