6 Must Try Foods on Japan's Most UNDERRATED Island

Shikoku offers 6 must-try dishes: Tokushima ramen, Kagawa's Sanuki udon (Kamatama), Kagawa's bone-in chicken (Honetsuki-dori), Kochi's seared bonito (Katsuo no Tataki), Ehime's robata-grilled fish, and high-end sushi.

• 🐔 Kagawa's Honetsuki-dori comes in two types: young (hina) for tenderness and mature (oya) for chewiness.
• 🐟 Kochi's Katsuo no Tataki is traditionally seared over a roaring rice straw fire, imparting a unique smoky flavor.
• 🍜 Tokushima ramen features a rich, thick chicken and pork broth, often topped with raw egg and pork belly.
• 🍣 Sushi Kawanaka in Matsuyama offered aged red snapper and uniquely rolled Ebi (shrimp) sushi.
• 🔥 Robata grilling in Ehime uses high-grade charcoal to cook fish precisely without imparting a smoky taste.
