Botan Nabe

This hot pot dish is made by boiling wild boar meat and vegetables in a dashi broth based on a mixture of white and red miso. It is a local dish of Tamba Sasayama, and it is said to have originated from the practice of soldiers eating wild boar meat caught in the area in miso soup. Not only is it delicious, but the dish is also visually appealing, as the wild boar meat is arranged to resemble peony petals.
