At Haruhi-en Tsuwano

Imoni party (stewed potato party) was held on a large scale in Tsuwano town on October 16, which is one of the three most famous imoni parties in Japan.

We also held Haruhi-en’s imoni party, the other day. One of the residents who knows a lot about cooking told us how to make it.

Stuffs for imoni are taros, roasted sea bream, soy sauce, salt, and sake which is cooled after heated once. During boiling, Ms. M and Ms. Y advised us not to season it highly with soy sauce and salt. Ms. M had a sip and said “beyond description.” We enjoyed its refined tastes with a flavor of sea bream. We’d like to cook and enjoy traditional dishes here more.
