Wakasa Obama,"Miketsukuni"or the region responsible for sending food to the Imperial Househoid
-The "Sabakaido(mackerel highway)"leading to Kyoto,starts right here-

Wakasa Obama was once a region responsible for supplying sait and marine products to the Imperial Household.
Blessed with riches from the mountains,pleins,rivers and the sea,natural foodstuffs were sent over roads known as the Sabakaido(mackerel highway) to Kyoto,establishing Kyoto's food culture.
Excellent food preservation techniques as well as a lifestyle indebted to nature that brings forth blessings to the people,are still alive in this region even today.
