Keijiru (Chicken Soup)
The aroma of chicken and burdock root rises from the pot simmering gently. When poured into a bowl and taken as your first sip, the savory umami of the chicken melts into the clear broth, warming you to your very core. Oita is one of Japan's leading 'chicken regions,' with one of the highest amounts of chicken purchased per household in the country. Keijiru is a local soup that has been carefully passed down in such a land. Bite-sized pieces of chicken, burdock root, dried shiitake mushrooms, and long green onions. After a light sauté, they are brought to a boil in a clear kombu dashi broth. Adding a little yuzu kosho or kabosu peel further enhances the aroma. It is a taste of home that you'll want to enjoy alongside Tori-meshi (chicken rice).
