The Cuisine of the Ina Valley, Shaped by the River and Daily Life

The Ina Valley has a tradition of eating zazamushi, aquatic insects that live in rivers. Along with rice-field grasshoppers and hachinoko from the mountains, they reflect a local way of finding food in the surrounding natural environment.

Learning about this way of life gives zazamushi a place in the wider story of the Ina Valley. It is an opportunity to consider how local rivers and seasonal ingredients have shaped daily meals.

Local Delicacies from Tsukahara

Tsukahara is a shop in Ina City that specializes in delicacies such as river fish and wild mountain vegetables. Cherishing traditional methods, it delivers the culinary traditions passed down through the generations in Shinshu.

Zazamushi Prepared as Inaka-daki

Tsukahara’s Zazamushi Inaka-daki is a local delicacy the maker recommends with sake. Enjoyed a little at a time, it conveys part of the region’s food culture.

A small plate, to be savored slowly

Serve a small amount in a small bowl and take your time with a drink. If you are trying zazamushi for the first time, taste it a little at a time, at your own pace.

One of the joys of dining while traveling is the opportunity to discover flavors different from those usually enjoyed at home. It is hoped that this will serve as an opportunity to experience the local flavors while reflecting on the rivers and the way of life in the Ina Valley.
