What kind of place is Tamba City in Hyogo Prefecture? What's the local cuisine like?
Tamba City is located in the eastern part of Hyogo Prefecture and can be reached in about an hour and a half from Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe.
Surrounded by mountains, the area's rich natural environment and traditional agriculture have made it an attractive place for food, and Tamba chestnuts, Tamba Dainagon red beans, and Tamba black soybeans are especially famous nationwide. Each has a long history, and producers have been carefully protecting and cultivating them with a high level of awareness and dedication.
In autumn, a gourmet fair is held where you can enjoy these ingredients to your heart's content, and many tourists visit every year in search of the flavors of Tamba.
Here we will introduce you to some of the exquisite ingredients unique to Tamba City and the secret behind their deliciousness!
The secret to the deliciousness of Tamba ingredients
The secret to its deliciousness is "Tamba fog"!
The "Tamba fog" that occurs from autumn to winter is said to be a major secret behind the deliciousness of agricultural produce. Starch is produced by absorbing sunlight during the day, and when the temperature drops at night, this is stored in the fruit. This repeated cycle enhances the produce's deliciousness.
Another attraction of "Tamba fog" * "Kuro Castle" shrouded in fog is a popular tourist spot *
Speaking of Tamba mist, it is an indispensable part of delicious agricultural products, but some people may also think of Kuroi Castle.
In autumn and winter, the Tamba mist is more likely to appear, and since it takes just one hour of trekking to reach the summit, it has become popular as a spot where you can easily view the sea of clouds. The 360° panorama that spreads out below you is breathtakingly beautiful.
