Do
Eat
Aichi is famous for its "miso(___X) culture". Miso is one of Japan's traditional seasonings. (Usually Japanese eat miso as "miso soup". Of course people in Aichi eat miso soup, too.) People spread sweetened miso paste on fried pork, fried shrimp (it_fs not tempura), tofu and so on.
Other Aichi specialities worth a try are:
''Tebasaki'' - grilled chicken wings with a sweet, mildly spicy glaze and white sesame seeds. Eaten with the fingers, they are a popular and delicious izakaya delicacy.
''Tenmusu'' - a local variety of onigiri, filled with prawn tenpura and a fruity brown sauce.
''Kishimen'' - flat, ribbonlike wheat noodles, usually served cold with a dipping sauce, but sometimes hot in broth.
