Sobagome Zosui (Iya)
Representing the local cuisine of the Iya region, 'Sobagome Zosui' has its roots in history; it is said that after being defeated in the Genpei War, the fleeing Heike clan cultivated buckwheat in the deep mountains of Iya, where rice was difficult to grow, and ate the buckwheat grains instead of rice. 'Sobagame'—buckwheat grains that have been boiled in salt, peeled, and dried—are slowly simmered in dashi along with chicken and root vegetables. It is characterized by a unique popping texture and a deeply nourishing dashi flavor, warming the body with every bite. Selected as one of the 100 Local Dishes of Farming, Mountain, and Fishing Villages, this is a winter staple in Iya that warms you to the core. This simple yet nutritious porridge is filled with the wisdom and history of the people who lived in these mountain villages. A steaming bowl on a cold day represents the cherished home-cooked flavor that the people of Iya have protected through the generations.
