Tagawa hormone

Tagawa hormone nabe is a dish in which hormones seasoned with yakiniku sauce and a large amount of vegetables such as onions, cabbage, bean sprouts, and leeks are stir-fried on an iron plate. It is a local food that Tagawa City in Fukuoka prefecture is proud of. The ingredients are similar to motsunabe, but the big difference is that motsunabe is simmered in miso or soy sauce-flavored soup, while Tagawa hormone nabe is seasoned with a yakiniku sauce and boiled sweet and spicy. The Chikuho region once flourished with the coal industry that supported Japan's energy. The Chikuho Coalfield was the largest coal field in Japan before the war, and it is said that at its peak it was responsible for more than half of the domestic coal output. “Tagawa Hormone Nabe,” which was eaten by people working in coal mines, mainly in Tagawa City in the Chikuho region, was once called “Tonchan” and recently “Tagawa Hormone Nabe” and is popular. The Tagawa style is “twice 〆,” in which udon is first added to the soup left in the pot and eaten, and then eaten as an uncle.
