Specialties & Local Products of 岡山県

Meiji Gonbo (Meiji Burdock)

特産品

Grown in the Meiji district of Yoshii-cho, Ibara City, 'Meiji Gonbo' is a high-quality burdock known only to connoisseurs. It is cultivated slowly over time in fine-grained, heavy red clay fields spread across a plateau at an altitude of approximately 400m. Because it takes 2 to 3 months longer to harvest than typical burdock, it features a tender flesh, a high aroma, and excellent shelf life. It has a long history, with legends stating that the local lords of the late Edo period also enjoyed it. Harvesting from heavy clay soil is labor-intensive and difficult to cultivate repeatedly, making it a rare specialty in recent years. The peak season is from November to early January. When prepared as kinpira or tempura, you can enjoy the earthy aroma and the rich, nourishing flavor of the mountain village.

Ibara Grapes

特産品

Pluck a single grape from the cluster and take a bite. The moment the skin bursts, a refreshing sweetness spreads throughout your mouth along with an abundance of juice. Ibara is one of the leading grape-producing regions in Western Japan. In particular, Aono Town is known as the 'Grape Village,' where various varieties such as Shine Muscat, New Pione, and Seto Giants are grown. Thanks to the combination of elevation differences and cultivation methods, this land offers the unique advantage of enjoying seasonal flavors for a long period, from early July to December. It is said that lines can form even before opening at the direct sales shop 'Budou Romankan.' The sweetness and aroma each present a different character depending on the variety. These are the prideful harvests of Ibara, a land blessed with grape cultivation.

Demikatsu-don

ご当地グルメ

When you open the lid, you'll find the tonkatsu on the rice is richly coated in a glossy brown sauce. The rich demi-glace clings to the crispy breadcrumbs, providing a satisfying bite. It is said to have been created by 'Ajino Nomura,' a Western-style restaurant founded in 1931 (Showa 6). The founder reportedly encountered demi-glace—a fundamental French sauce—at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and thought, 'I want to bring this taste to the local people.' They adapted the authentic sauce with ingredients like ketchup to make it pair perfectly with rice, transforming it into a katsu-don. Eventually, ramen and Chinese noodle shops within the city began adding it to their menus, helping it spread as a specialty of Okayama. It is a rich and satisfying dish that offers a different experience from the egg-bound version (tamago-toji). If you come to Okayama, this is a bowl you must try.

Ebimeshi

ご当地グルメ

When the plate is brought to the table, you can't help but widen your eyes—it is pitch-black fried rice. However, once you take a bite, a fragrant aroma is followed by a gentle sweetness that makes it easy to keep eating. Surprisingly, its roots are said to trace back to the curry restaurant 'Indee Ra' in Shibuya, Tokyo. It is believed to have started when Tatsumi Idei, a native of Okayama, brought the recipe back to Okayama in 1966 as an independent branch owner and served it in his own shop. To suit the preferences of the people in Okayama, who favor slightly sweeter flavors, he reportedly took time to develop it into a local specialty. The secret behind its black color is the unique Ebimeshi sauce finished with caramel and sauce. With its striking appearance and gentle sweetness, it has now become a true soul food of Okayama.

White Peach

特産品

When you gently peel the skin, luscious juice overflows from the smooth, white flesh. Upon taking a bite, an elegant sweetness spreads through your mouth before melting away. It is said that peaches originated in China, and varieties such as Shanghai Suimitsu were brought to Japan around 1875. Through continuous breeding efforts in Okayama, the 'White Peach,' known for its whiteness and fine texture, was born in 1901 (Meiji 34). Furthermore, in 1932 (Showa 7), Chuichi Nishioka of Haga, Kita-ku, Okayama City, introduced the 'Shimizu Hakuto,' famous for its soft texture. A stone monument marking the birthplace still stands by the edge of the Shinike pond. These are Okayama's prideful fruits, grown with care by bagging and tending to each one individually. They are the ultimate summer delicacy.

Muscat of Alexandria

特産品

When you put a translucent yellowish-green berry in your mouth, it bursts with a plump texture, releasing an elegant sweetness and a noble, perfume-like fragrance. It is easy to see why it is called the 'Queen of Fruits.' Its origin is said to be Alexandria, Egypt, and its name comes from how it spread to various regions via the Port of Alexandria. Cultivation in Okayama is said to have begun in 1886 (Meiji 19) by Yoshio Yamauchi in a glasshouse in Nozaya Village, Mitsu District (now Kayanidani, Okayama City). This grape prefers high temperatures and dry conditions, making it difficult to grow; however, the success was supported by Okayama's warm, low-rainfall climate and the early adoption of greenhouse cultivation. Today, it is said that Okayama accounts for almost all domestic production. Each elegant berry is like a crystal of time and effort.

Mamakari

特産品

Take a bite of the silvery, vinegar-cured flesh atop piping hot rice. After a refreshing acidity, the savory umami of the blue fish spreads gently through your mouth, making it impossible to stop eating rice. 'Mamakari' refers to a small fish called sapa from the herring family. The name is said to come from the legend that it was so delicious, people would finish their own rice (mama) and go to borrow more (mama) from their neighbors. During the Edo period, it was sent to the Shogunate as a specialty of the Okayama Domain; one of the oldest records of 'Mamakari in vinegar' can be found in a document from 1817. In addition to the pickled version, 'Mamakari-zushi' (sushi made with Mamakari) is also exceptional. It is a flavor that has been loved in Okayama households since ancient times.

Okayama Bara-zushi

郷土料理

The moment you open the lid, a gasp escapes your lips—shrimp, largescale threadfin, lotus root, and snow peas are packed tightly atop the sushi rice. It is truly a feast for special occasions, filled with colorful ingredients. It is said that its origin lies in the ingenuity of commoners facing frugality edicts. During the Edo period, Ikeda Mitsumasa, the Lord of the Okayama Domain, issued a decree stating, "Meals shall consist of only one soup and one side dish." In response, people devised this luxurious Bara-zushi using the logic that even with many toppings, if mixed into the rice, it still counts as "one side dish." Also called "Matsuri-zushi" (festival sushi), it is an indispensable dish for festivals and celebrations. With both treasures of the sea and bounty of the mountains all on a single plate, this bright and cheerful sushi reflects the true richness of Okayama.

Shine Muscat

特産品

Enjoy large, glossy berries with a crisp snap, without worrying about seeds or skins. With overflowing juice and an aromatic muscat scent—Shine Muscat is currently the most popular variety of grape. Since the Meiji era, Okayama has been the "Holy Land of Muscat," cultivating grapes in glass greenhouses. By being among the first to use greenhouse cultivation to grow this fruit, which is sensitive to high temperature and humidity, Okayama has accounted for approximately 90% of the nation's Muscat of Alexandria production. While Shine Muscat itself is a relatively new variety developed by NARO and registered in 2006, the cultivation techniques perfected in Okayama further enhance its sweetness and quality. Carefully grown cluster by cluster, Okayama-grown grapes are also known under the "Hareō" brand, making them jewel-like grapes often chosen for gifts.

Kasaoka Ramen

ご当地グルメ

A steaming bowl featuring a clear, shimmering soy sauce soup. With a single sip, the savory umami of chicken spreads through your palate. What sits atop the noodles is chicken rather than pork. This is a unique dish exclusive to Kasaoka, featuring what is known as 'Kashiwa Chashu.' In Kasaoka, where poultry farming has been prosperous since ancient times, meat from spent hens was easily obtainable, leading to the establishment of a ramen culture using this 'kashiwa' (chicken). It is said that this style was enjoyed in local diners even before the war, and was officially named 'Kasaoka Ramen' around the year 2000. The firm, well-cooked chicken chashu releases a rich umami flavor with every bite. With its light chicken bone soy sauce base and the chewy texture of kashiwa, this is a nutritious Chinese-style noodle dish nurtured by the city of Kasaoka, the town of chicken.

Kasaoka Reclaimed Land Strawberries

Pick a glossy, bright red ripe berry and pop it into your mouth. The moment it bursts, a juicy sweetness overflows, and a gentle aroma drifts through your nose. These are grown in the reclaimed lands of Kasaoka Bay, spreading across the Seto Inland Sea.

Bukkake Udon

You pour the thick sauce all around the firm noodles, top them with green onions, tempura scraps (tenkasu), and a raw egg, then mix it well before eating. When you slurp it up, the punchy dashi flavor spreads throughout your mouth. It is said to have originated at 'Furuichi,' an udon shop in Kurashki. An anecdote remains that during the 1960s/70s, the president of the shop, while eating between mahjong games, ate a dish made by his child where toppings and sauce were poured over zaru udon; he was so inspired by its deliciousness that he created this style.

ご当地グルメ

While walking through the Bikan Historical Quarter, your steps might suddenly halt—at the sight of a vibrant blue bun.

The sandy, clay-like soil rich in minerals produces lotus roots with white, tender flesh. Cultivation is said to have begun in the Meiji era, and it is believed that an early-maturing variety called 'Oojiro' (Great White), discovered by chance in this area about 40 years ago, became the main star.

During the Edo period, rush was planted in land enriched with salt created through land reclamation; the tatami mats woven here were shipped to Osaka and Edo under the name 'Hayashima-omote.'

The custom of grilling and eating fresh offal took root here, and it is said that about 30 to 40 years ago, the style of adding this stir-fried udon as a finishing dish to accompany alcohol became established.

It is said that the name comes from the practice of scraping off the meat attached to beef ribs and using it. Tsuyama was a strategic point on the Izumo Kaido highway, and during the Edo period, along with Hikone, it was a region permitted by the Shogunate to consume beef as medicinal food (yojoshoku). Alongside dried meat and meat jelly (nikogori), Sozuri Nabe grew within this rich beef culture. It is a wisdom of eating deliciousness from parts that are often discarded.

In fact, Tsuyama is a town with a rare history of meat consumption in Japan.

It is said that the meat culture from the ancient era, when cattle markets were held, gave birth to dried meat as a preserved food.

With a single bite, the savory umami of the sea spreads through your mouth. Bizen Hinase is a famous production area for Seto Inland Sea oysters.
