  absolutely correct.

  Goma tofu
  (Sesame tofu)

  400yen

  Sesame tofu is made from the arrowroot powder and the sesame. A sesame is roasted well, and mixed with the arrowroot powder, and long time is refined. The tastes of the sesame are daily dishes to feel well..

  So why? in this prefecture wild boar meat must go with their soy sauce.

  Soy Sauce....there is a history.

  Hiruzen Highland is a highland in the northernmost part of Okayama Prefecture.
  It is located about 90 km north of Okayama city.

  It is at a height of 500-600 meters.
  A flat basin surrounded with mountains stretches, and the area is about 20 km from east to wes and about 5-7 km from north to south.
  On the north side, there is Mount Hiruzen with three peaks. The altitude of the highest peak is 1,202 meters.

  Hiruzen Highland is a popular resort area, and about 2.5 million people visit every year.
  So it is sometimes called "Karuizawa in western Japan".

  When we come here, we see the open grass field.
  It is the Japan's largest pasture for Jersey cattle. About 2,400 cattle are here, and they accounts for a quarter of total Jersey cattle in Japan. We can enjoy the idyllic scenery, and of course, we can enjoy a variety of foods from Jersey cattle such as milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and beef.

  And we can enjoy cycling, horse riding, camping and climbing. In winter, we can ski.

  Folklore has it that a specter called "Suiton" haunts in this area.
  It appears by a bad man soundlessly, and eats the man. Also he can know exactly what we are thinking.
  I want to be a good and honest person.

  We can find the statues of Suiton in many places of Hiruzen Highland.
