Hiyajiru (Chilled Soup)
Pouring chilled miso soup generously over hot rice. The aroma of cucumber and shiso rises softly, making the chopsticks move effortlessly. Even in the summer when appetite drops due to the heat, you can eat plenty of this. Hiyajiru is a local dish passed down primarily around the Miyazaki Plain. It is said to have originated from farmers pouring miso dissolved in water over barley rice during breaks from heavy summer farm work; it was originally referred to as 'farmers' food' or 'battlefield food.' There are also tales that its origins lie in the 'soup-over-rice' meals spread by monks during the Kamakura period. After the war, various households added their own touches, evolving it into a sophisticated dish. It is a taste that allows you to experience Miyazaki in summer with a single bite.
