�@ �@ Prepared in the fashion of a delicate flower in bloom, these blowfish taken from the Bungo Channel waters are culinary masterpieces. They taste especially delicious when eaten with Oita's original citrus fruit, the Kabosu lime. This unique Beppu cooking technique involves steaming seafood and mountain vegetables in natural hot spring gas vapors. The intense steam instantly draws out the exquisite flavor of the foods. This dish is prepared by stewing thin dumplings, made by kneading a mixture of flower and salt, along with a variety of other ingredients in a miso broth. This powerful barley-based alcoholic beverage was created by the people of Kannawa. These treats are prepared by boiling the skins of pomelos (the juiciest kinds of mandarins), rinsing them with water, then boiling them again with sugar and starch syrup. These handcrafted items reflect Beppu's culture and tradition, and range from tableware and kitchen goods to artistic masterpieces.
