Local Products
Bonito Fish Flakes
From around the beginning of the Taisho period (1912 to 1926), when they began being produced here, bonito fish flakes (hana katsuwo) have been the speciality product which has represented Iyo City. Bonito fish flakes are treasured for their truly natural taste, especially with recent tendencies towards using chemical flavourings in food.
Nakayama Chestnuts
Chestnuts from the Nakayama region of Iyo City are large and delicious, and are said to be the best in Japan. In the early seventeenth century they were commended by the ruling Shogun and enjoyed high esteem, while more recently, in the 1930s, they were exported to North America. Today, there are seven main types of chestnuts. The cultivation of chestnuts is celebrated in the annual Nakayama Chestnuts Festival.
Satsuma Mandarins
Iyo City's oceanic climate and level mountainous areas are perfect for mandarin cultivation, and the fruit has been produced here since 1908. Today, Ehime prefecture is one of the top prefectures for mandarin orange production in Japan and even medium-quality mandarins from Iyo City have a particularly good flavour. They are distributed throughout the country with a circular mark carrying the character 伊 (the "I" of 'Iyo")
Karakawa Loquats
Since around 1890, Karakawa loquats have been produced in the Karakawa district in good quantities, and the quality and flavour of this top quality product are known throughout Japan. "Loquat leaf tea", which is produced from chemical-free leaves, is also proving popular as a health drink.
Anchovy Fry (Chirimen)
Iyo's chirimen fresh anchovy fry is caught in the shallows of the Seto Inland Sea. It is delicious if put into hot water, and is something which cannot be tasted outside this area. The dried version of this, Iyo Chirimen Iriko, is distributed throughout Japan under this name.
Deep-Fried Fish Cake (Jakoten)
The bones and meat of the small fish, haranbo (Glowbelly), are ground up, arranged on a wooden frame and then deep fried in oil to produce a calcium-rich food. Iyo City's jakoten is popular for the quality of its fine ground texture and uncomplicated flavour.
