Loach Cuisine in Yasugi
Yasugi, known nationwide for its 'Dojo-sukui' dance, is actually a famous producer of loach cuisine. Yasugi City is the birthplace of the folk song 'Yasugi-bushi' and its comical dance, 'Dojo-sukui.' As a region that has been close to loaches since ancient times, loach farming is also highly active here. Because local loaches are raised in a short period, they feature soft bones, making them easy to eat. The mucus on the surface is also said to contain collagen, making it popular for its health benefits. From Yanagawa-nabe simmered in a sweet and savory sauce to crispy deep-fried pieces and loach soup, the variety of dishes is truly rich. When visiting Yasugi, you'll definitely want to taste authentic loach cuisine after enjoying the dance.
