Japanese Food from Shikoku 1
OverviewShikoku is one of Japan’s four principal islands, which is located south of Honshu and east of Kyushu,
and is divided into four prefectures: Tokushima, Kagawa, Ehime and Kochi. These correspond to the four
former provinces of Awa, Sanuki, Iyo and Tosa, giving the island its name, which means “Four Provinces”.
The north coast of Shikoku faces the Seto Inland Sea, where many beautiful islands f loating in a calm sea
display impressive scenery. The south coast of Shikoku faces the Pacific Ocean, where the Kuroshio, or
“Black Current,” f lowing offshore makes for a rich fishing ground. The inland area is also covered by lush
forests and high mountain ranges, including peaks such as Mt. Ishizuchi and Mt. Tsurugi, which reach
nearly 2,000 meters. Running through these mountains are several beautiful rivers, such as Shimanto
River and Yoshino River, offering sometimes wild, and sometimes gentle views. Besides the region’s
impressive natural beauty, Shikoku also boasts rich cultural heritage, including Matsuyama Castle, the
Dogo Onsen and Kagawa’s plentiful artworks, as well as a number of popular festivals, such as Kochi’s
Yosakoi Dance and Tokushima’s Awaodori Dance.
Each area of Shikoku has its own special cuisine, many of
which are famous throughout Japan. These include Sanuki
Udon (wheat noodle) in K agawa , sudachi (c itr us fr uit)
and Naruto Kintoki (sweet potato) in Tokushima, yellow
tail and sea bream (fish) in Ehime, yuzu (citrus fruits) in
Kochi.

2 Japanese Food from Shikoku
Handa Somen NoodleSomen noodles are one of the most popular noodles among Japanese
people besides udon, soba and ramen noodles. Handa Somen is quite
unique because it is thicker than normal somen noodles, and is well-
known for its “springiness”, which is an important point for Japanese
noodles. You can use this noodle for a variety of dishes, not only
for Japanese cuisine but also for Western or Asian cuisines such as
a pasta dish. (Picture: Handa Somen noodles in a salad style, which
goes perfectly with hot summer days.)
Naruto Kintoki (Sweet Potato)
Naruto Kintoki is the most famous sweet potato in Japan, of which
the price is highest among sweet potatoes. It is grown in sandy soil
near the coastal area around Naruto City, which makes the potatoes
as sweet as they can be. You can find many delicious processed foods,
like sweets and cakes, made from Naruto Kintoki.

in winter and brew for about 2 years. We then add more soy beans
and wheat and brew an additional 2 years for a total of 4 years.
Our sauce's rich and mild taste is perfect for pouring on or dipping
with your dish. Add a little bit of this sauce on vanilla ice cream to
create a caramel flavor.
Though we are a small organization consisting of just 3
employees, we take pride in preserving the traditional
method of brewing soy sauce. Commonly today, soy sauce
is produced at factories in tanks over a period of about 3
months, but we believe soy sauce should be made in barrels
made from cypress trees using the unique microorganism in
each brewery over a greater period of time. At present, ony
less than 1% of soy sauce is produced using this procedure.
We currently maintain 57 cypress tree barrels and brew our
product over a period of 1 to as many as 4 years.

2. Oboro Kelp
Our skillful workmen carefully handle this authentic oboro
kelp piece by piece in the Shimanto River area. This handmade

1. Oboro Kelp
This "oboro" kelp from Hokkaido is carefully produced by
experienced craftworkers with high technology (Four of
them have over 20 years of experience) (food additives-
free). Please enjoy the light taste of this authentic kelp.
Our company has been supported mainly by local people
since it was established in 1968 in Sakai City, Osaka as a
kelp specialty shop.. After the war, our factory moved to
Shimanto City, Kochi and trained "oboro" craft workers (at
present 13 craft workers). In 2006, we moved to Sukumo
City, Kochi. It has been common practice for only "oboro"
craft workers and their families to produce the kelp, and
then for the shops to buy it from them.. However, with this
system, it is difficult to groom successors. At present, the
number of "oboro" specialists is less than 10 in Osaka and
even Tsuruga City the home of "oboro", has less than 200.
It is very rare that "oboro" craftworkers are employed by
companies like ours. We produce mainly "oboro" kelp which
must remain “domestic and handmade” products.

near the center of Kochi Prefecture. We have our brewery
in Tosa City, which has an abundance of seafood and food
from the mountains. Natural water springs nearby have
never dried up and our company was named after the water,
because the water had always been used for preparation of
sake. In 1807, eleven people founded the brewery. In 1917,
the company was reorganized and since then, our aim has
been to brew sake which contains rice, yeast and water only
from Kochi. At present, we are brewing varieties of sake.
