Tambasasayama Wild Boar Spring Festival — A Journey of Flavors, Pottery, and People —

“Botan-nabe” (Wild Boar Hot Pot), a traditional dish of Tambasasayama, has been certified as a “100-Year Food*” by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
*A prestigious certification for local food cultures that should be preserved for the next century.
