If you're visiting the southern Hida and Gero region, the one local dish you absolutely must try is "Keichan" (chicken dish)。
■ A local specialty featuring flavorful chicken, crisp vegetables, and a secret sauce
"Keichan" is a traditional dish from southern Hida, where bite-sized pieces of chicken are marinated in a special miso and soy sauce-based sauce and then grilled heartily with vegetables such as cabbage and onions. The savory aroma rising from the hot griddle alone is enough to strongly stimulate the appetite.
■ It pairs perfectly with freshly cooked rice!
Keichan, with its sweet and savory sauce, the delicious flavor of chicken, and the sweetness of vegetables, is an absolute perfect match for white rice. If you devour it with our signature rice, you won't be able to stop eating!
