Winter!
Episode #102, 29 minutes Join Chef Bouley as he explores the local traditional food in his visit to mountainous inland region of Nagano Prefecture and Noto Peninsula that stretches into the Sea of Japan.
It's winter in Nagano. In the 1960's, stroke mortality in Nagano Prefecture was alarmingly high. But thanks to efforts by doctors to promote dietary changes to reduce salt intake, the people of Nagano now have one of the highest life expectancies in Japan. Bouley learns how "kanten" is made by boiling down and drying algae using the cold winds that blow from the snowy mountains. He also peeks inside a local's kitchen and gets a hands-on lesson from a housewife on making "sunki," a rare kind of pickle made without using salt. The unique taste and texture of the local health foods stimulate his creativity. In Noto Peninsula, he learns the secret of making sake lees and soy sauce.
