Takayama’s cuisine is very different from that of Tokyo, Kyoto and southern Japan. Takayama, being a land-locked area, had to depend on the mountains and rivers for its raw materials. Due to this reason the local people created a number of unique dishes – unique in the ingredients they use and in the flavours of the dishes.
One typical local cuisine of Takayama is “SAN-SAI”. San-sai means mountain vegetables such as edible ferns and other wild plants. Said to be both nourishing and delicious these mountains vegetables often have distinctive flavours. San-sai is said to be most delicious when cooked with the rich local miso. This miso is another local dish not to be missed.
“San-sai ryori” is a meal consisting of the mountain vegetables in miso with river fish grilled with salt or soy sauce. It’s a healthy meal and a typical meal of this region. Leave a Comment

 Hida Soba by tigerjapan
Like many of Japan's mountainous districts, Takayama also has its own¡¡variety of "soba". Soba are noodles made from buckwheat. These noodles are frequently hand -made at the restaurant where you eat them and served in various ways, hot or cold. Soba is often eaten as a light lunch or as part of an evening meal.

These little monkeys can be found in almost every shop in the village. They also come in Hello Kitty versions and other famous manga characters.

Before coming to Takayama all ricefields I had seen had been while swooshing past them seated on Shinkansen. But here I got the chance to have a closer look while walking out of town on my way to the Mahikari World Shrine and Hida Folk Village.
The afternoon sun was reflected in the water. The mountains rose in the background, still covered in snow. A beautiful scenery indeed.
