Must-try Fukuoka flavors!
Fukuoka, a treasure trove of delicious foods, has many local specialties that are famous throughout the country. Among them, the "Amaou" strawberry is a variety that was developed after many years of research and development. It is characterized by its large, juicy strawberries with an excellent balance of sweetness and sourness. In addition, spicy cod roe, which is perfect as a snack with alcohol or rice, is also very popular as a souvenir.
Kyushu is famous for its "motsunabe" (offal hotpot), but have you heard of "Tagawa Hormone Nabe," a local delicacy from Tagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture?
Unlike motsunabe, which is simmered in soup, this dish is made by stir-frying offal seasoned with yakiniku sauce and a large amount of vegetables on a hot plate. One theory is that it started when a coal miner placed a paper cement bag on a charcoal grill to grill offal.
Tagawa City originally prospered as a coal mining town, and its delicious, energy-boosting cuisine is still loved by the prefecture's residents.
Hakata Tradition and Innovation
Hakata weaving, a silk fabric created in the Kamakura period Hakata by a merchant, Mitsuda Yasuemon, and a high priest, Seiichi Kokushi, who traveled to the Sung Dynasty to learn and arrange weaving techniques. In the Edo period (1603-1867), Nagamasa Kuroda, lord of the Fukuoka domain, presented the fabric to the shogunate, and it became famous throughout Japan for its beautiful patterns, suppleness, and durability. Even today, Hakata weave is used for sumo wrestlers' mawashi (belt), but it is said that only those who reach the rank of juryo (ten ryo) or above are allowed to wear Hakata weave.
Although Hakata weave is known as such a high-class dedication item, recently it is not only being produced as a traditional obi, but is also being actively arranged in a modern style. Collaborating with companies and designers, they produce a variety of products adapted to the modern age, such as stationery and pouches. Among them, Hakata woven earrings, wallets, and business card holders are very popular. Why don't you try incorporating high-quality Hakata textiles into your daily life?
