Food in Kyotango
Kyotango is a region located in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture, facing the Sea of Japan, and is known for its abundant and fresh seafood. Its winter snow crabs are especially famous nationwide.
Not only seafood, but rice grown in mineral-rich water and a rich natural environment is tastier than rice from other regions, so much so that there is even a brand called "Tango Koshihikari." Local vegetables and fruits are also fresh and delicious. Also, with an ideal environment for sake brewing, there are many sake breweries, and Tango's local sake is popular for its high quality and flavor. With an abundance of high-quality water sources, the number of sake breweries using "Tango Koshihikari" is increasing, and using this rice produces sake with a rich aroma and full flavor.
We will introduce you to some restaurants where you can enjoy Kyotango ingredients and cuisine!
