The town of Kanra, in Gunma Prefecture, is one such place, with a local cuisine including flour dishes such as suiton, tsumikko, and yakimochi. I asked the local moms to name a few popular summer recipes, and they said one favorite is dressed cucumber. Cucumber is typically pickled in salt and sweet vinegar, but in Kanra it’s dressed with miso. Traditionally in this region, the men gathered in the winter, during the farming off season, and made a year’s worth of barley miso. Miso made the traditional way is still sold today under the name Todoroku Miso.
