Nara stain is a kind of pickled vegetable made by pickling melons, cucumbers, ginger and other vegetables with distiller's grains. This kind of food originated in the era of Pingchengjing, with Nara as its capital, around the 197s. According to legend, it was pickled with sediments accumulated under the muddy wine, so Nara stains were called "sediment stains".

among many kinds of nara stains, the melon nara stain is the king of nara stains. It tastes crisp on the outside, soft and slightly sweet inside, and has a faint wine taste, which is very suitable for eating with white rice.

Although many stores sell Nara stains, there are also specialty stores selling special Nara stains such as persimmons, burdock, carrots, onions, cantaloupes, mushrooms, etc. You may wish to visit and buy them while strolling in Nara. Persimmon leaf sushi

Persimmon leaf sushi is one of the local dishes in Nara Prefecture. It is made by slicing salted mackerel on a big white rice, and then wrapping it with sterilized persimmon leaves and fermenting it for several days. In ancient times, a large amount of salt was sprinkled on the captured mackerel, and then transported from Kumano Beach to Yoshino and Ogiyo. Therefore, the road through which mackerel is transported is named "Mackerel Street".

The locals in Nara sliced salted mackerel, put it on rice, wrapped it in persimmon leaves, fermented it and matured it into sushi, and then enjoyed it on the day of the ceremony. In the early years, mackerel was the only ingredient, and now there are various persimmon leaf sushi such as salmon, snapper, shrimp and sea eel. Three-wheel plain noodles

It is said that more than 1,2 years ago, wheat rope was made for eating in the three-wheel area around Daiwa, Nara Prefecture, and this wheat rope was the prototype of plain noodles. Three-wheel vegetarian noodles are characterized by slender and elastic taste. During the Edo period, people who visited the Ise shrine had such an evaluation of the three-wheel vegetarian noodles: "Yamato and three-wheel vegetarian noodles are famous things, as fine as silk and as white as snow", and their popularity began to spread all over the country. Nowadays, there are still many shops selling vegetarian noodles near Shanbian Road, and there are also many shops in Naraichi where you can taste vegetarian noodles. Tea porridge

Tea porridge is found all over Japan, but as the saying goes, "The morning of Yamato begins with tea porridge", tea porridge is still the most famous in Nara. Although there is only a small amount of rice in the tea porridge, it can still fill the stomach because of the addition of fried soybeans and broad beans, which can be said to be a local cuisine that came into being from the wisdom of daily life.

Nara tea porridge, which is characterized by refreshing and non-sticky, has a long history. Monks began to eat tea porridge in the Cang era, and then it gradually spread to the common people. It is said that until the Showa 193s (AD 1955), every family often ate tea porridge. Pueraria Yoshinoya

The water quality in Yoshinoya, Nara is excellent, and because it is located in a cold place, it has a very suitable terrain for making Ge Fen. Therefore, the quality of "Pueraria Yoshinoya" made in Yoshinoya by the traditional method called "Yoshinoya Sun" is very good and has a high evaluation. After processing, pueraria lobata has become a variety of foods such as pueraria lobata, pueraria lobata fruit and pueraria lobata cuisine, which can be tasted in Yoshino, the place of origin, and enjoyed by several specialty stores in Naraichi. Japanese wine

In Muromachi era, Japanese wine in Nara was very popular as a top-class wine. According to legend, Zhengli Temple in Nara established the basic technology of modern wine-making, so Nara is also called "the origin of Japanese wine". The Great God Shrine, located in the third wheel of Sakurai City, also consecrates the life of Okuninushi, the god of wine. Every year on November 14th, a "Brewing Prayer Festival" will be held, where winemakers and winemakers from all over the country will gather. After the ceremony, Sugiyama (an ornament hung in front of the store to announce when brewing new wine) will be sent to winemakers all over the country.

At present, there are 29 wineries in Nara Prefecture, some of which offer wine tasting experience. In addition, there are many specialty stores or ingenious restaurants in Naraichi where you can try Japanese wine. Yamato Tea

The tea produced in Nara is called "Yamato Tea", which is mainly planted in the Yamato Plateau in eastern Naraichi. Due to the high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night, the Dahe Plateau often condenses dew in the morning. Under the moderate humidity and sunshine produced by fog, sweet and soft tea can be cultivated, and high-quality tea can be made. In addition to basic green tea and baked tea, Yamato tea with different flavors such as Japanese black tea can be enjoyed in Nara. Persimmon dessert

Persimmons in Nara Prefecture have been planted since the time of arrogance and kingship (about 4th-7th century), and now it is one of the best persimmon producing areas in Japan, so Nara Prefecture has developed many persimmons-related desserts. For example, there are many kinds of Japanese desserts with grapefruit peel as a sandwich and dried persimmons wrapped in it, Zuizhong with rich persimmons in Yoshino, persimmon jam, persimmon vinegar and persimmon cream. Shaving ice

Not to mention that everyone doesn't know, Nara is actually a "holy place for shaving ice". There are two ice-related shrines in Nara Prefecture, the Icehouse Shrine. Every year, people in the ice-related industry will come here to pay homage to the deity with the name of "Ice Sacrifice", and there will also be an activity of "Ice House Snow Sacrifice". Because of this background, shaved ice can be eaten all year round in Naraichi, not only in summer.

There are many kinds of shaved ice, including those that make syrup into mousse shape by special method, and those that make syrup from local food such as Daiwa tea or strawberries produced in Nara County. The shaved ice provided by each store is full of creativity and ingenuity.
