Akita Kayaki
Kayaki, a traditional hot pot dish from Akita Prefecture
About Akita Kayaki
Akita Kayaki (秋田かやき) is believed to have originated from the term "kaiyaki," which refers to cooking in a shell. It is said that the dish traces back to coastal fishermen who used large shells as makeshift pots for cooking.
This comforting dish involves simmering seasonal fish, vegetables, and mountain greens in a flavorful broth seasoned with miso, salt, soy sauce, or shottsuru (fermented fish sauce), all cooked in a large shell. One of the joys of Kayaki is its versatility—you can experience a wide range of ingredients and flavors depending on the season and region.
