Ohira
When you lift the lid of the large bowl, the aroma of dashi rises with the steam. Taro, lotus root, burdock, and chicken are gently simmered in a soy-based broth. It is a comforting taste of home. The name "Ohira" is said to derive from being served in a large, flat bowl with a lid, measuring about 50 centimeters in diameter. This Yamaguchi local dish has been prepared whenever people gather for ceremonies, Obon, or New Year's, and in the Iwakuni region, it is considered a tradition dating back to the feudal era. In Iwakuni, it has been an essential dish for celebratory occasions, alongside "Iwakuni Sushi" and "Lotus Root Vinegar Salad." The gentle sweetness of the root vegetables soaks in deeply. It is a warm feast for days when people gather together.
