【GUNMA】You've got to taste this kind of noodles!

Gunma Prefecture, located in the northwest of the Kanto region, is a beautiful land surrounded by mountains. For many years, agriculture and dairy farming have been actively carried out, and many famous products have been produced. This time, I would like to introduce one of the most popular foods for tourists, "おっきりこみ(Okkirikomi)".

What kind of food is Okukirikomi?

Okukirikomi is a warm, local dish made by wide-breading raw noodles with soy sauce or miso-based soup. In some parts of Gunma, it is also called Niboto. The feature is that seasonal ingredients such as vegetables and mushrooms are also included, and it is full of nutrition ♪ 

When the noodles are cut, they are added to the soup and boiled for a long time. The flour used as the flour is also put in the pan, so it adds a chewy texture and warms the body. Therefore, it was once made as one of the typical winter foods in Gunma prefecture. Today it is a regional flavor that can be eaten all year round.

The characteristic feature here is that they serve food under the name "切り込みほうとう (Kirikomi Hoto)", which is a combination of the notation of both Okkirikomi and Niboto.
