Local Cuisine
Kiritanpo (Rice Stick) Hot Pot
Akita is one of the major rice-producing prefectures and so this cuisine was given birth as our specialty. To cook Kiritanpo, we wind freshly boiled rice around skewers made of Akita cedar and bake them. After that, we boil Kiritanpo with locally produced poultries, mushrooms picked in mountains, Welsh onions, burdock roots, Japanese parsleys, and other wild plants. Please enjoy the hot pot.

Hachimantaira Pork
Since pigs were born and raised in a same building until they were shipped, they didn’t touch with the outside world. Pig farms are desirable place to raise pigs, since causes of diseases are shut out. Hence, you don’t have to worry about the usage of medicals including antibiotic substances. Pig farmers change feed for pigs depending on their stages in growth. They feed plenty of vegetable protein like corns and don’t use feed of animal origin.
