Tebichi (Pork Trotters)
When you pick up the tenderly simmered pork trotter with your chopsticks, it wobbles beautifully. The skin and gelatinous texture melt in your mouth, allowing the savory flavor of the infused dashi to spread gently across your palate. Tebichi is a dish made by simmering pork feet for a long time along with kombu (kelp) and daikon radish. It is said to have been introduced from China during the Ryukyu Kingdom era, originally serving as a court cuisine to entertain envoys. Over time, it became a beloved flavor among the common people. In Okinawa, there is a belief in eating the same part of an animal that corresponds to the part of your body that is ailing; thus, there was a custom of eating pork feet when your legs were tired. Because it is packed with collagen, it is also popular among those concerned with beauty. Please enjoy this melt-in-your-mouth delicacy.
