Hot Spring Specialties

A spectacularly large local dish from Kumano region
Mehari sushi is a specialty local food of the Kumano region, a rice ball wrapped in pickled takana leaves. In the past, it was made as a lunch box for people working in the fields or mountains, with barley rice balls wrapped in takana leaves, but nowadays it is made exclusively with white rice, and sometimes with vinegared rice. The name comes from the fact that it is as big as a child's head, so you have to open your mouth wide to eat it, or because it is spectacularly delicious. The fillings vary, including chopped pickled takana stems, sesame seeds, small sardines, and bonito flakes.
