Ishikari nabe (hot pot)
“Nabe is food cooked in a pot served as a central dish on the table”
Ishikari nabe, a mainstay in Hokkaido, includes salmon, various vegetables and tofu boiled in a ‘miso’ (bean paste) broth. Why is it called, ‘Ishikari Nabe’? Originally it was called, Salmon nabe or Coast nabe, which was fishermen’s food. When it was introduced to Tokyo as a local specialty it took the name Ishikari nabe, being easy to remember. It is quite rare that a local dish takes an area’s name in Japan, so it was lucky for Ishikari. And everyone knows that Ishikari nabe means salmon nabe.
