Introducing local cuisine and local gourmet foods such as Hoba miso
Hida's local dish ``Hoha Miso''. Hoha miso is made by placing miso, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, etc. on top of magnolia leaves and eating it while grilling.It goes well with rice and is also a great accompaniment to sake. Hida's winters were so cold that the ingredients would freeze, so people would spread magnolia leaves over the fire in the hearth and warm up pickles and miso to beat the cold. Nowadays, hoba miso, which is eaten with not only miso but also Hida beef, mushrooms, and green onions, is also popular. In December 2007, it was selected as one of the ``Top 100 Local Cuisine from Rural Areas'' by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
Hida sweets are made using carefully selected ingredients using traditional methods. It's a hometown flavor with an appealing rustic flavor.

The sweets are made using traditional methods and are made with simple ingredients, which is why they are popular for their simple and timeless taste.
