Autumn Cuisine (News from the JNTO Toronto Office)


The fall harvest provides an abundance of flavourful ingredients to prepare warm, hearty Japanese dishes for cooler nights that make food and drink in Japan an essential part of any travel experience. Ingredients like matsutake mushrooms, kabocha (Japanese pumpkin), persimmon and chestnuts proliferate menus. Nourishing bowls of soup and stew called Nabemono (things in a pot) are the staple dishes, cooked at the dinner table and shared communally. These pots of miso, soy or dashi-based stock are chock full of regional ingredients. Kyushu varieties include chicken and vegetables. In Shikoku, duck, wild boar and buckwheat dumplings are included. Parts of Chugoku include local fugu (pufferfish) or oysters. The staple ingredient in the Kansai region is the thick, doughy udon noodle. In the Chubu region there is an abundance of kabocha squash and so that is added to the pot. One specialty in Kanto region is the meat, skin and innards of monkfish. A specialty of Tohoku is the addition of pounded, skewered and grilled rice. And, in Hokkaido, stewed-salmon is essential.


There are other varieties of nabe that have gained national popularity, including Chankonabe, which was originally served to Sumo wrestlers, because it is comprised of more of everything, from meatballs, chicken and vegetables, to cabbage and udon. Oden is a soy-flavoured dashi broth with boiled eggs, konjac and fishcakes that is quick and easy to prepare, and can even be found at convenience stores. Shabu Shabu is a very common dish to cook at home in which thinly sliced meat and veggies are boiled in the pot, and eaten with a dipping sauce. Sukiyaki is similar, but the stew is sweetened with sugar and mirin, and the contents are then dipped in raw egg for a luxurious, creamy texture. Japan’s quintessential soul food is its vast regional variety of ramen, which warms and nourishes in colder nights.

Outdoor Japan

Fall is the best time to enjoy outdoor activities in Japan. The colours are gorgeous and the air is cool and crisp. Stroll amidst the thousands of soft red Kochia balls in Hitachi Seaside Park, Ibaraki. Mt. Yahiko in Tsubamesanjo, Niigata changes dramatically from verdant green to fiery orange and red, and The Maple Valley of Yahiko Park is illuminated at night for an impressive display of colour against the night sky. There are endless options to enjoy spectacular parks and pristine wilderness in Hokkaido, from the more urban Nakajima Park in all its resplendent colour, to the Jozankei hot spring area in its magnificent serenity. Cycling the Shimanami Kaido from Honshu to Shikoku is an invigorating adventure over the ocean with scenic stopovers in the bucolic towns, ancient temples, and aromatic orchards and groves that dot the chain of six quaint islands. Whitewater Rafting is the most exhilarating way to experience Japanese nature, from the scream-inducing rush down the river in the Iya Valley, Tokushima and in Minakami, Gunma, to the refreshing, thrilling, stand-up log rafting journey in Kitayama, Wakayama. Experiencing Japanese nature in autumn is a once in a lifetime rejuvenation.
