About Jigoku Mushi (Hot-spring steam cooking)
Jigoku Mushi, a cooking method practiced since the Edo period, uses the intense heat of steam rising from hot springs to cook food. A variety of ingredients, including vegetables and seafood, are placed in a basket inside a “Jigoku Mushi” pot, where steam at around 100°C billows up, and the lid is closed. The hot, mineral-rich steam cooks the ingredients quickly, locking in their natural flavors.
