Keichan (chicken dish)

Kei chan is a local food which used to be enjoyed in the summer holiday of the dead (obon) or the new year holiday season in Gero and Gujo Cities. Each household would raise its own chicken, and when they stopped hatching eggs, their meat would be marinated in special sauces and enjoyed later. The sauces were made from miso paste, soy sauce, or salty seasonings, and the meat was grilled with vegetables for a variety of chicken dishes.
