Geocache Description:


The production quantity of Saitama prefecture's udon is the most to Kagawa prefecture's. Udon is a familer food for people of Saitama prefecture, such as it was said that woman who couldn't make udon noodle couldn't marry in the past.  When relatives gather, an old family in Saitama serves udon for a event food in a fine day even now. Udon has the meaning, "a good thing continue long and frugally".  In addition, various local udon culture is taking root in each places of the prefecture, such as Kazo udon, Kawajhima suttate udon, Konosu kawahaba udon and Kumagaya udon, etc. and it is said that there is big or small 25 kinds of udon in the prefecture.

Because a lot of wild boar and deer are hunted in this neighborhood, Botannabe (wild boar meat) and Momiji-sashi (deer) is well eaten. And about the udon, Shishi-niku udon (wild boar meat udon)  is also well eaten. If the opportunity arises, eat Shishi-niku udon and let's continue GC long and frugally! 

 埼玉県は香川県に次ぐうどん県です。

 かつては、「うどんが打てなければ嫁にいけない」と言われたほど、うどんは埼玉県人にとって身近な食べ物でした。

 今でも、県内の旧家ではうどんはハレの日の行事食であり、祝い事や親戚が集まる時にはうどんを振舞います。

 うどんは「ツルツル、カメカメ」と食べるため目出度く、「細く長く良い事が続くように」との願いの意味もあります。

 また、県内各地には、加須うどん、川島すったてうどん、鴻巣川幅うどん、熊谷うどんなど、少しずつ趣の違う地域のうどん文化が根付いており、埼玉県には大小25種類のうどんがあると言われています。

 この辺りでは猪や鹿が多く獲れることから、ぼたん鍋(猪肉)やもみじ刺し(鹿)がよく食べられますが、うどんについても、猪肉を入れた猪肉うどんが食されます。

 機会があれば、秩父産の猪肉うどんを食べてGCを細く長く続けよう!
