Homestyle cooking created by the abundant local nature and the people who live here—such as the affordable, down-to-earth food like the very popular sauce katsudon (pork cutlets on rice), the typical folk foods of gohei mochi (rice cakes) and Shinshu soba (buckwheat noodles), along with the many excellent alcoholic beverages—elicit nostalgia among the Japanese for their rustic quality.
