Kashiwa Cuisine of Kashihara

Inside a sukiyaki pot, the chicken is simmering gently. When you take a bite of the meat coated in sweet and savory warishita sauce, you experience a firm texture and an explosion of umami—this is the chicken delicacy known as 'kashiwa' in Nara. In the flatlands of Nara, chickens have been raised as a side business for farmers since ancient times. Preparing sukiyaki using chickens from one's own household became a beloved feast for celebrations and festivals. Inheriting the prestige of that 'Yamato Kashiwa' is Yamato Nikudori, a local breed raised in Nara Prefecture. In Kashihara, there are even restaurants where you can savor this local chicken as sashimi or grilled dishes. This feast for special occasions continues to be cherished to this day.
